We consulted on draft proposals to create new parish, town and community councils across Bournemouth and Poole and to make some small changes to the existing town and parish arrangements in Christchurch.

There are currently 4 parish councils and one town council that focus on local priorities, projects, and activities such as:

• improving parks
• greenspaces
• managing car parks
• managing community centres
• providing street furniture
• Christmas decorations
• community events and entertainment

What we asked in our consultation

We asked for comment on our draft recommendations for our Community Governance Review.

When we went to consultation we also asked if you:

• wanted a town and parish council in your area
• thought our proposed boundaries were correct
• felt that the community you live in is in the right parish or would you prefer to be a part of another parish area
