Bournemouth
has so much potential, but poor decision making by the Lib Dem Council
is changing the character of our town.
Tobias lists
seven of the Lib Dem decisions he opposes and seven areas which
could improve Bournemouth for all the family.

Stop
over-development
• Give local residents more say in planning decisions

|

Parking
and Infrastructure
• If local consultation allows, let JP Morgan and the hospital
. increase the size of their car
parks
• Complete the Wessex Way onto the A3049, as originally
. planned, relieving the congestion on Castle Lane |
|

|
Investment
in youth activities
• Provide more facilities for older children to expend
their
. energy and keep them active,
and so curb street-corner
. activities |
|

• Invest in a town wide bike network to curb reliance on
cars |

Improving
Boscombe seafront
• Upgrade Boscombe pier
• Bring back pleasure trips
• Expand the CCTV and turn back on seafront area |

Regaining
control of our Town Centre
• Limit on the number of night clubs in town centre
• Charge a levy on pubs and clubs to pay for the extra
policing . the area needs, freeing
police to cover the rest of the town
• Increase parking and reduce charges to encourage shoppers |
The speed with
which Bournemouth's assets have been sold reflects a town without
a long term strategy.
Bournemouth needs a vision which we annually work towards, which
promotes our town, safeguards its character and makes it an attractive
place for all the family.
