Councillor Vikki Slade, the Leader of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, will answer questions on plans to revitalise Bournemouth town centre during a live council Question and Answer (Q&A) session next week.
The session will be broadcast live on Wednesday 12 July, from 11.30am to 12 noon.
BCP Council recently launched the ‘Bournemouth Town Centre Survey’ as the first step in a strategy to revive the town centre. Around 1500 people have already submitted their ideas.
The survey can be accessed at: haveyoursay.bcpcouncil.gov.uk/btc until Friday 4 August.
Councillor Slade said:
"Bournemouth is a wonderful place with enormous potential, but we all know that the town centre faces some big challenges.
"We’re putting residents at the heart of our work towards solving these and creating somewhere we can all be proud of.
"That’s why we’ve launched the survey; asking what people would like to see in the town centre, what they like about it now and what they would want to change.
"During the Q&A next week I’m looking forward to answering questions anyone might have about the survey, hearing some innovative ideas and outlining how the survey will feed into our plans for rejuvenating the area."
Questions can be submitted in advance via: LiveQandA@bcpcouncil.gov.uk or through comments on BCP Council’s social media posts.
There will also be the opportunity for people to ask questions during the Q&A within the comments section and have them answered in real-time.
The session will be broadcast across the council’s main social media channels including on youtube.com/bcpcouncil and is available to watch later for those unable to tune in live.
