In order to ensure that local residents play an integral part in making the every-day decisions that affect them we will:

1. Engage local residents and businesses in developing a retail regeneration strategy to breath new life into the town centres of both Poole, Bournemouth and our smaller district shopping areas.

2. Engage local residents and businesses in producing a sustainable development strategy that increases economic activity in Christchurch whilst preserving the unique character of its town centre and surroundings.

3. Support local businesses to develop employment opportunities in a bid to end the scandal of poverty in our communities.

4. Work in partnership with the operators of Bournemouth Airport and the Port of Poole to secure a sustainable increase in the levels of commercial activity and to enhance the conurbation’s trade links with the rest of Europe and the wider world.
