Bournemouth West Conservative Association

Living in Westbourne I know that this part of Dorset is a wonderful place to live. There is much about it we want to protect and much we can improve.

Within the new Bournemouth West constituency – which again will include parts of Bourne Valley, Branksome and Alderney – there are many challenges.  We need a community focused MP who works to solve these problems.  Someone who is your champion in Westminster.

As I talk to local people I get a very clear sense of what matters to them:

• Fear of crime and experience of anti social behaviour is far too high.  People – old nad young alike - want to see the police – on the streets not in cars.
• Tourism is a vital part of the local economy and Bournemouth and Poole must strive to attract visitors. But our outlying communities must not be forgotten.
• The character of our area must be protected.  The need for new housing must be balanced against ensuring that we have the facilities local people need.
• This area contributes a lot but does not get a fair deal from Government.  The removal of the promise of funding to Bournemouth and Poole College and the poor financial grants to Bournemouth and Poole Councils show local people need a better deal.

If there is ever anything I can do to help, or if there is an issue you would like to raise with me, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
