Improving The Seafront

Bournemouth Borough Council Seafront Strategy

Councillor David Smith, Cabinet Member for Planning and Environment, said: “These vital works are taking place not only to protect the coastline from future coastal erosion but also to maintain the award winning beaches which attracts millions of visitors and residents to the coast each year. The works also complement the Council’s Seafront Strategy – a long-term plan to develop a world class seafront.”

The aim of the ambitous plan is to create 4 distinct and different zones along the seafront, each with their own unique identity.
