From:Sent: 03 July 2018 11:10To: reviewsSubject: Boundary review Broadstone, Dorset

To Whom it may concern, I very concerned about the proposal to change the boundary of Broadstone. I live in Sorrel Gardens and I understand that I may be affected. I have grown up in Broadstone and went to the local schools, used the local library and Dr's surgery.

I moved away from the area for university and when I got married My dream was to be able to return to the area one day and start my family and bring them up in Broadstone. I loved my childhood and the community spirit. Some of my best friends are the neighbours I grew up with. My husband and I bought our house in Sorrel Gardens after a lot of budgeting, saving and working hard. Our main criteria for buying a property was that it was in Broadstone and within catchment area for Broadstone First School and Springdale first school. To hear the news about the possibility of the boundary changing is extremely disheartening. I have put everything into being part of my local community and my children are already part of local groups run by the church and library. We can't afford to move back into the what may be the Broadstone boundary. We can't afford to send my children to a private school. I feel devastated the future my husband and I have worked so hard to give our children may be taken away. Please consider how it will affect our community. Many thanks

The list goes on, two more: Our property has a BH18 Broadstone postcode Our house is in Broadstone school catchment areas and not Creekmoor Thank you Begin forwarded message:

From: Date: 3 July 2018 at 18:53:42 BST To: [email protected] Subject: Proposed ward boundaries in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole ‐ Broadstone Cowslip Rd

I have read with interest the report in to the proposed ward boundary changes. I live in Cowslip Road, Pinesprings, Broadstone and currently in Broadstone ward, and I WOULD LIKE MY ROAD TO STAY IN BROADSTONE WARD. My life centres around Broadstone:

We as a family, and individually use the Broadstone leisure centre We used the shops, banks, hairdressers , cafes, restaurants in the centre of Broadstone

We use the play park in Broadstone Rec

Our doctor is in Broadstone

I liaise with the Broadstone Councillors We take part in Broadstone events such as the Broadstone fun day and Broadstone Christmas parade We paid a high price for our house as house prices are higher in Broadstone In contrast I do not use any facilities or services in Creekmoor and rarely go there. I do not want to be represented by Creekmoor ward councillors as they will not understand or be able to support my issues in Broadstone. I am a tax payer and strongly feel that as a tax payer I should be represented by the correct councillor in my area, Broadstone. I would like a copy of the rationale as to why Broadstone Pinesprings is proposed to be moved into a ward where there are no shared interests. To reiterate Cowslip Road must stay within Broadstone Ward.

From:Sent: 03 July 2018 21:28To: reviewsSubject: Boundary change objection - Broadstone

Dear Sirs, I am emailing to place an objection to the proposed boundary change to the Broadstone ward. Only a few years ago the same proposal was rejected as it was proven that there is a strong community that would be split if the changes went ahead. There was also a promise that this would never be attempted again. What happened to this promise? We moved to Sorrel Gardens specifically to be part of the Broadstone community and so would be devastated if we were separated. We do not use any of the Creekmoor facilities. Our doctor, library and sports centre is all within Broadstone in walking distance of our house. We use these facilities at least twice a week. If we were to go to Creekmoor I would need to drive as my children would be unable to walk as far as the Creekmoor shops and we would need to cross several busy roads. We have no connection with Creekmoor and do not want to lose the right to vote in the community in which we live and take part in. Kind regards,

Re: Pickering Close, Broadstone I strongly disagree with the wards you have on your map. With what you propose you are moving my address to "Creekmoor" which is really unacceptable. York Rd has always been Broadstone and I think you need to bring the line down to include more of York Rd. I started a business in what I believed to be Broadstone and will be devastated to be included in Creekmoor. Please reconsider where you draw that line it definitely should include Northbrook again a long standing Broadstone road. Regards

Dear Sir/Madam Please accept this e‐mail as confirmation that my husband and I wish to remain within the Broadstone ward for the following reasons:‐ Creekmoor is separated from our roads not only by the natural terrain, woods creeks and a very deep valley but also by the Castleman Trailway. Public transport serves residents going to Broadstone. There is no single bus to Creekmoor from our area.

.

. We support local businesses, banks, post office, library and we are registered with the local dentist etc. We utilise the local sports centre and public house socially. Many of us work voluntarily with the local scouts, guides clubs for the elderly and Brooks on Wheels which operates from the Broadstone library. Affiliation to The Residents Association and Neighbourhood Watch. We wish to remain within the Broadstone ward as you will find 100% of the Pinesprings Residents do. Pinesprings is Broadstone and we wish to remain so ‐ please and thank you. Yours sincerely

Dear Sir I currently live in post code BH18 (9PA) and have become aware of yet another move to bring our part of Broadstone into adjacent Creekmoor. I wish to protest about this move as i have previously done. My reasons are as follows: ‐In Pinesprings estate where I live we have no affinity with Creekmoor‐ we do not shop there, attend medical or dental facilities in Creekmoor and feel we belong to Broadstone. ‐We use Broadstone library, shops and belong to Broadstone as a community. ‐Our children attend Broadstone schools There have been moves to dissect us from Broadstone before and we have always resisted it. We will resist it again and require that our wishes are taken into consideration Yours faithfully

I am very disappointed that the boundaries for Broadstone and Merley are being reviewed so soonafter the previous review and with no apparent regard for the residents’ views which meant that theexisting boundaries were retained after that review. Having lived in Pinesprings for 25 years I haveappreciated being part of a community with excellent schools for all ages, sports facilities andneighborhood shops including an amazing small library. What is important is that not only can I usethe facilities, but that I can have a say, as a local resident, on how the local neighbourhood plan isdeveloped, how the area is managed and developed for all age ranges. If I was excluded, as Iwould be if the boundary changed, from receiving regular Councillor and BNW information I wouldbecome a taker from rather than a contributing member of the community. Having lived inneighbouring wards I deliberately chose to live within Broadstone ward as I found the link betweendifferent agencies and the community was the most dynamic and supportive. I am very much of theview that the proposed boundary change that would remove my voice from my local community is anegative solution to a problem perceived by the boundary commission and I very much oppose themove of the Pinesprings district of Broadstone to a neighbouring ward.

As a local resident in BH8, I am supportive of the proposed new boundary areas for both Queen'sPark and Muscliff and Strouden Park. In particular, the shift of the Queen's Park Ward covering thenew area lifting up behind Bower Road, Broad Avenue and Feversham Avenue. This more accuratelyreflects the neighbourhoods in this area and their association with the Queen's Park Ward.

It might be nice if the wards where re-drawn based on a formula that balanced the number ofhouseholds, the number of residents, the combined lengths of the roads, footpaths & cycle waysand the square meters of green space? This would help the future councillors to have broadlysimilar interests and to equally engaged in debates and developments on all environmental andinfrastructure topics.

the policy of the day inrelation to coastal towns was to foster the spread of high speed broadband to encourage people towork from home, in what would become good enviable dormitory towns. A key reason behind thispolicy was that a coastal town without a major port was only half a town - the sea prevented thekind of all-round expansion which favours in-land towns, giving them a 360 degree hinterland intowhich they could breath and grow, thereby attracting workers and shoppers from all around to bringin money and create prosperity. Each town needed an effective hinterland if it was to succeed. Byclumping together the population centres of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch into one largeauthority, separated from their natural hinterlands, you will exacerbate the very problem the veryproblem your predecessors sought to heal. Christchurch needs a rural hinterland in which to breathand from where to draw incomers and therefore income. Bournemouth likewise. Poole benefits fromsignificant port activity, but still needs its own breathing space. A wiser solution would be to createa Christchurch and East Dorset Council, a Bournemouth and North Dorset Council, and a Poole andWest Dorset Council. Clumping the towns into a single Poole Bay Conurbation, cut offadministratively from their natural hinterlands, will fail.

I would like to suggest that the split between Boscombe East and Boscombe West should, instead ofeast and west, be realigned north and south with the boundary line being along the ChristchurchRoad then down Parkwood Avenue until it meets West Southbourne. Boscombe, particularly thenorth side, is very run down and the name itself has become synonymous with crime and drugsboth locally and nationally and since the Council have repeatedly failed to address the problemperhaps a name change for Boscombe might at least help. Suggest the area from Christchurch Roadto the cliff top becomes Seabourne.

Pinesprings should not be removed from the Broadstone Ward : relevant reasons for remaining areuploaded at '2' below.

Uploaded Documents:

Download)

REASONS for REMAINING PART OF THE BROADSTONE WARD

1 : In Sundew Road we have very few reasons or opportunities to connect with

the relatively limited facilities and services of Creekmoor, as is currently being

proposed.

2 : Pinesprings is part of the parish of St John the Baptist Church : a church

community that we actively support with its primary building in central

Broadstone.

3 : Access to central Broadstone (from Pinesprings) is easier and safer by foot,

cycle (possible mobility scooter) and bus than it is to Creekmoor.

4 : In view of the above our personal focus is central Broadstone with its

thriving facilities and services that include keep-fit venues, luncheon clubs,

open spaces (with their events), meeting halls, shops, hairdressers, doctors,

dentists, library and reasonable access to the wider parts of the bus network

operating within our conurbation.

5 : We have been involved in the creation (over several recent years) of the

emerging Broadstone Neighbourhood Forum and would wish to help ensure it

flourishes – having recently voted in favour of its creation together with many

others in our active community to secure a massive vote of approval from an

impressive turnout.

6 : We consider that the community spirit (generated in the Broadstone Ward)

should be fostered and definitely not undermined by any insensitive and

inappropriate fragmentation of the Ward.

7 : It is understood that an elected Councillor in the Broadstone Ward may

consider that Pinesprings should be required to leave the Broadstone Ward but

he has neither consulted us yet nor explained the basis for his view. Obviously

after years of contributing to our Broadstone community we do not share his

incomprehensible view in any way.

8 : It might be interesting to know what could have been unclear about the

responses to the various previous proposals (to require Pinesprings to leave the

Broadstone Ward) particularly since it is normally appreciated that “one size

does not always fit all” and community ties always have had real significance

for assisting the maintenance of health and well-being.

The move of the blocks of flats on Boscombe Cliff Road from East to West Boscombe wards is out-of-step with the driver of having properties within a ward they relate to in terms of communityidentity and interests (as per the second of the 3 key drivers for para 8 of the Introduction of theCouncil Size Submission Document). Laverstock, for example, has close heritage links with ShelleyManor and East Boscombe. Please return Laverstock, Ocean Heights, Carlinford and Byron House tothe Boscombe East Ward as these blocks have clear links of identity and interests with theproperties in Boscombe East and not with those in Boscombe West.

I do not trust Bournemouth or Poole councils as far as I could throw them so I would prefer tomaintain the status quo, or failing that be part of Dorset Council as they already run many of ourservices and maintain our roads, so there would be less upheaval for the residents. We alsocurrently take part in Dorset council elections. Bournemouth and Poole are both in debt whichChristchurch is not so they will use our money to buffer their coffers and will build on our car parksand green space and take away all the free parking like they have in their towns just to makemoney. I currently live in Jumpers and wish to remain in that ward rather than become part ofChristchurch central as I am not in the centre of Christchurch! The majority of Christchurchresidents voted against this proposal because they realised that it would destroy our lovely townand I do not understand why we are not being listened to.

There is a clear difference between the Hillbourne Estate and the properties off of York Road. This can be seen in building types, theresidents and, most importantly, what the residents deem important. Those living in roads such as Northbrooke Road and Mission Roadare far closer to the Broadstone community than they are to Creekmoor. It is an area of bungalows and detached properties, unlike theHillbourne Estate which has a very different atmosphere. For example, the area to the West of York Road has a highly activeneighbourhood watch group as part of the Broadstone community. The above is all on a more general scale, but personally I am a youngperson just starting out and to suddenly change our address away from being Broadstone will skyrocket things such as car and houseinsurance. Those in the area I have highlighted paid higher house prices than those in what is currently Creekmoor and they paid thatpremium for a reason. I know for a fact a new business has started in Pickering Close that has set up here sheerly for the Broadstoneprestige. To change that impacts small businesses, people like me who are starting out, and the large amount of retired elderly whohave moved to the area as an investment - a lot of which will not be online to be able to complain about this for themselves. Movingthe boundary isn't simply a case of local council, but will hugely effect the residents in a negative way.

From:Sent: 04 July 2018 11:57To: reviewsSubject: Ward Boundaries Broadstone

I have been informed that there is a proposal that the road I live in ‘Cowslip Road’ to be moved from the Broadstone ward to the Creekmoor ward. I am totally against this move and wish to object. I and my family are proud to live in Broadstone and use the facilities, I.e. pubs, cafes, shops, and other services within the Broadstone area, our Dentist and Doctors are both located on the Broadway. We do not have any need to go to Creekmoor which is in fact very run down in some areas. We moved into this area when our daughter was young specifically to ensure that she was in the correct catchment area, if the boundaries change this would also affect the catchment area. I know this may not have any sway on the decision but financially this move would have a negative effects on the values of the properties, the catchment area as previously mentioned would affect the decisions of potential purchasers if we decided to move in the future. I do know that insurance for the properties and vehicles would increase as Creekmoor is a higher risk. While this might be seen as a simple change its affect would be dramatic for the residents affected by this proposal. Regards

As a proud resident of the Broadstone community we do not welcome the thought of changing ourpostcode from Broadstone to Creekmoor. Without sounding snobbish those that live in theBroadstone community have moved here because of the up market area which comes with upmarket house prices. We moved into our dream home Broadstone 18 months agobecause of the Broadstone postcode and community. To change our area to Creekmoor postodewould considerably devalue our property and everyone else’s that this may effect. So if the newcouncil would like to give us each in development in excess of £50,000 in compensationthis may go something towards what we would each lose in property value. Also seems senseless tomove the obvious division of boundaries that The Broadstone way road creates. Everyone we havespoken to is of the same opinion. There are a number of elderly residents in Broadstone who arenot computer literate but the ones I know are also of the same opinion but are unable to respondto your warning. We trust you will see sense and NOT try to change the existing boundaries,however in the interim we will be taking advice from our solicitors. Regards

Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to voice my opposition in the strongest terms to the proposal for my neighbourhood to be removed from Broadstone and moved into Creekmoor. It is extremely disappointing that such an inappropriate proposal has yet again been mooted without an appropriate amount of publicity or consultation time allowed. Pinesprings has always been and will always be a valuable and integral part of the Broadstone community and we chose to settle in Pinesprings because it is part of the community in which my wife grew up. Indeed we were married in St Johns Church where my wife attended the congregation. Our two children attend schools in Broadstone and prior to that nursery in Broadstone. Their key friendships have grown through schools in Broadstone. Our daughter is part of Broadstone 1st Guides, our son in Broadstone cubs and he is also learning to swim at The Junction Leisure Centre in Broadstone. Every year both children are in the Broadstone Christmas parade, an important local tradition in which we have all taken part in recent years. We are part of the Broadstone Residents Association. In addition to being located close to the local schools, Pinesprings has a natural affinity with Broadstone for shopping, post office and the Doctors Surgery where we are all registered in addition to other facilities. We enjoy visiting our two nearest pubs; The Blackwater Stream and the Goods Yard. We feel very much part of the Broadstone community and do not wish to be annexed with another with which we have no affinity and are separated from not only by the natural terrain, woods, creeks and a deep valley, but also by the Castleman Trailway. Can I also suggest that the deadline be delayed and the residents given proper notice of this proposal. In a matter of local democracy it is only correct that the people concerned are informed of proposed changes and the reasoning behind them and then given enough time to respond. I do not believe this has happened and wish to voice my annoyance that this has not been the case. Thank you

My purpose in e-mailing is to object to the proposal that the entire Pine Springs development be transferered from Broadstone into Creekmoor ward. The area relates to Broadstone for the services of libraries, shops, schools, social activitkies. etc This is particuarly so for Sorrel Gardens to the north of Pinesprings Drive. It is of little benefit to be represented by Creekmor councillors, concerned with for example their neighbourhood centre. As a compromise, Pinesprings Drive could be a natural boundary.

I strongly object to the proposals to exclude the whole of BEECHWOOD CLOSE, BROADSTONE BH18 8JX from the BROADSTONE VILLAGE CENTRE and do not agree that it should be re-allocated to the CREEKMOOR WARD. We purchased our home in 1975 because it was within the BROADSTONE CENTRAL VILLAGE BOUNDARY and was INSIDE the catchment area of CORFE HILLS SCHOOL. It was not in CREEKMOOR or anywhere else. We live a very short walk from the Centre of Broadstone. We live further than an easy walk from ANY OF THE CREEKMOOR FACILITIES. ALL of our interests, including, shopping, banking , Medical Care, Library, VOTING, etc. etc. are all centred in BROADSTONE. We are too far from CREEKMOOR for it to be either convenient useful or of any interest to us at all. The potential implications of being excluded from Broadstone are extensive. PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:- We paid a premium price to buy a home in BROADSTONE, as opposed to one in CREEKMOOR, of other nearby "villages" around POOLE. If, as proposed, we are are EXCLUDED from BROADSTONE not only would the SALE VALUE of our home be reduced, so would its SALEABILTY. These proposals are very objectionable and worrying to us as PENSIONERS. We feel upset and very dissatisfied with how this procedure is nibbling away at the boundaries of Broadstone. It is not necessary or wanted. We propose the following:- Re-draw the BOUNDARY of BROADSTONE/CREEKMOOR to run East to West Along LYTHAM ROAD, up YORK ROAD towards and join with the BROADSTONE BOUNDARY. THIS PROPOSAL WOULD INCLUDE BOTH SIDES OF BEECHWOOD CLOSE, BROADSTONE WITHIN THE BROADSTONE WARD. AND WOULD MAKE A LOT OF PEOPLE, including us, MUCH re-assured and more settled than we currently feel..

It is a long walk, probably 3 times the walk to Broadstone, and I have to cross the busy Broadstone Way - even if I take the car I have to go up to Broadstone or down to Fleets bridge to get to Creekmoor. I hope you will take notice of objections like this and not just look at numbers. I feel I will be much less likely to vote if you make it much more difficult to get there especially if the area that I vote in is not the area which I use.

I am not in favour of the division of Merley and Bearwood. I belong to the C of E Faith community within that ward - a ward that basically follows the parish boundary. I feel that you would be cutting the parish down the middle with Bearwood being lumped with a Bournemouth suburb although we are technically Poole.

I live in Lytham Road Broadstone. I strongly object to the proposal to remove my Road from Broadstone ward and transfer it to Creekmoor ward. I have no association with Creekmoor. I use no facilities there. Whereas I am a five minute walk from shops,doctors,library and all the other facilities available in Broadstone. I wish to vote for people who represent where I live not someone who represents an area I have nothing to do with. Why on earth would I bother to vote for someone raising issues which don’t affect me. This is the same as asking people to vote on issues in a totally different town. If this ridiculous proposal goes ahead you will be disenfranchising citizens of Broadstone. I have always voted at local and general elections and insist on my right to continue to vote for the people who wish to represent me and listen to my needs in the community in which I live. NOT in an area I have no relationship with.

Re: proposed re-allocation that Twin Oaks should be go into Creekmoor. Twin Oaks is devided by the main Broadstone Way and access to Creekmoor from Twin Oaks would be almost impossible. All amenities for Twin Oaks are in Broadstone Broadway, namely shopping, doctors, church, ease to vote etc. We came here almost thirty years ago and bought our house in the Broadstone area and this is where it should stay. This plan has obviously been arranged by someone who has no idea of the area and the inconvenience this would cause.

From:Sent: 24 August 2018 20:47To: reviewsSubject: Council Ward Boundaries at Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole

To The Review Officer(Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole) I would like to submit me response to the Boundaries Commission proposal to break up the current boundaries of Broadstone. As a continuous resident of Broadstone since 1983 I would like to protest at the suggestion that Broadstone should be ripped apart. I currently live in the Pine Springs area and would therefore be affected by the proposal. Broadstone has always been a close knit community and to this day is often referred to as a village. The centre of the community being the Broadway is the main area where our doctors have their surgery, where our library is situated, where are main shops, restaurants, pubs and sports facilities reside. It is an area where most people in the Pine Springs area, at least, consider to be the centre of their community and as such are affected by changes that go on there. Removing Pine Springs and the other areas proposed out of Broadstone would in effect render the residents disenfranchised as far as the local elections are considered with little or no say in the future of Broadstone, the centre of their community. I support the proposal put out by the main local political parties that there should be no changes to the Broadstone boundaries. Taking part of Broadstone away and adding an area which is remote from Broadstone makes no community sense, but destroys the current community spirit and relationships. Regards

Resident of Pine Springs, Broadstone.

I strongly disagree with the proposal to move the Pinesprings area of Broadstone into Creekmoor. I have lived in Broadstone for over 30 years. My children attended Broadstone schools, my doctors surgery is in the centre of Broadstone, I use the Broadstone library and buy essential shopping from the Broadstone shops. When my grandchildren visit me we use the Broadstone recreational areas. I have never had any connection with Creekmoor and fail to see how the Creekmoor councillors can possibly represent my interests or the interests of my family. The new proposed boundary is not a well thought out and would effectively disenfranchise the local community in the Pinesprings area in local council elections.

Twin Oaks Close and Lytham Road are a separate area from the rest of the area east of York Road. This area has no direct road connection to the Hillbourne or Creekmoor areas. Broadstone is the natural centre for these two roads as they are connected to the Broadstone shops by a number of footpaths. These two roads have little in common with the other parts of the proposed council ward of Creekmoor.This area has always been considered an integral part of Broadstone and should remain so.

Personally I think it is a disgrace that Bournemouth is being given so much power, it is the worst thing that has ever happened to Dorset to have them moved into the county, The people of Poole and Christchurch and surrounding areas involved should fight vigorously to try and stop Bournemouth from taking over more of Dorset. it is a rubbish town and is only interested in taking over areas that is not in there Boundaries, like Sandbanks, Christchurch and all the other better places that Bournemouth does not have. so please let us keep our individuality.

I have been a resident of Pinesprings which is currently in Broadstone and proposed to move to Creekmoor. I object to this as we are closer to Broadstone services and shops, I use the shops, medical services and support the trades and shop owners of the Broadstone area. I have used this area since moving to Broadstone and feel a greater natural link to Broadstone than Creekmoor. I find the local representatives very supportive of the residents and the community and feel better represented by them and more in tune with the needs of the area I live in. I also fear that the move will have a negative effect on house prices and the ability to sell when residents wish to move, especially if, like me they might wish to remain in Broadstone. Broadstone is a well established community and family area in which to live and I do not see how moving any properties into the neighbouring ward will make our life better or feel part of the new area. It is also worth comment that this has been proposed before and rejected by residents so it does seem a waste of money and resources given the overwhelming mods of the residents of Pinesprings, myself include.

I am a Broadstone resident living in Pinesprings which is scheduled to become part of the Creekmoor community if this proposal is implemented. I have lived here fro 25 years and my children have attended the Broadstone schools, holiday clubs, churches and Scoting groups, library etc. We shop in Broadstone ,and receive our health care there. It is our community, and we very much are a part of the local activities and community days that occur Pinesprings is historically and geographically part of Broadstone, and not part of Creekmoor. As a Broadstone resident, I wish to be represented by a Broadstone councillor as they represent my community very well I do not feel part of Creekmoor community. I do not use any of the amenities there, and would not feel that my preferences and needs could be as well represented by the Creekmoor community councillors.

Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to voice my opposition in the strongest terms to the proposal for my neighbourhood to be removed from Broadstone and moved into Creekmoor. It is extremely disappointing that such an inappropriate proposal has yet again been mooted without an appropriate amount of publicity or consultation time allowed. Pinesprings has always been and will always be a valuable and integral part of the Broadstone community and we chose to settle in Pinesprings because it is part of the community in which my wife grew up. Indeed we were married in St Johns Church where my wife attended the congregation. Our two children attend schools in Broadstone and prior to that nursery in Broadstone. Their key friendships have grown through schools in Broadstone. Our daughter is part of Broadstone 1st Guides, our son in Broadstone cubs and he is also learning to swim at The Junction Leisure Centre in Broadstone. Every year both children are in the Broadstone Christmas parade, an important local tradition in which we have all taken part in recent years. We are part of the Broadstone Residents Association. In addition to being located close to the local schools, Pinesprings has a natural affinity with Broadstone for shopping, post office and the Doctors Surgery where we are all registered in addition to other facilities. We enjoy visiting our two nearest pubs; The Blackwater Stream and the Goods Yard. We feel very much part of the Broadstone community and do not wish to be annexed with another with which we have no affinity and are separated from not only by the natural terrain, woods, creeks and a deep valley, but also by the Castleman Trailway. Can I also suggest that the deadline be delayed and the residents given proper notice of this proposal. In a matter of local democracy it is only correct that the people concerned are informed of proposed changes and the reasoning behind them and then given enough time to respond. I do not believe this has happened and wish to voice my annoyance that this has not been the case. Thank you

I am a resident of Pickering Close, BROADSTONE and strongly object to the proposed plans of moving us from the Broadstone ward to Creekmoor. Whilst I understand it doesn’t change our address or our postcode, we have paid a premium for our house in BROADSTONE with a BH18 postcode and I expect to be able to vote and be consulted on matters involving the place that we live in - BROADSTONE. I am absolutely disgusted in the proposals to move our ward to Creekmoor and do not feel you’re understanding or treating the residents of Broadstone fairly. I believe all BH18 residents should remain part of the Broadstone ward.

We were assured at the last Consultation that Twin Oaks Close would remain in the Broadstone Area. We have lived and worked as volunteers in Broadstone for over 20 years. . We feel the value of our homes will be downgraded if our area is changed from BH18 to BH17. We bought our home specifically because the post code would be BH18 and never imagined it would be changed. We received assurances in the last Consultation that our address would not change. We would like you to reconsider the decision made. Broadstone is our village and community and we would be very upset to be relocated without our permission.

I Strongly Disagree with the Concept of BCP. I live in Pinesprings area of Broadstone and moved there to be part of the Broastone community which i take part in, my wife works in the local Broadstone Doctors Surgery, our kids go to the Broadstone Schools etc etc. and now 3 years later you want to change the boundary so that we come under Creekmoor which I do not want to be a part of because it's run down and has no soul or center whatsoever!. That's completely unfair and undemocratic. If you can forward moving costs of £15,000 to me to move back to within the Boundary of Broadstone then please do. Otherwise LEAVE THE CURRENT BROADSTONE BORDER ALONE PLEASE!!!!! Regards p.s. I will always put BROADSTONE on my Address - because that's what it said when we moved here!

Why is the Pinesprings area of Broadstone being "moved" to Creekmoor? This is detrimental to all the people living in this area in many ways. This should not proceed under any circumstances. Pinesprings needs to remain in Broadstone. Many people have moved to the Pinesprings because it is in Broadstone. Now they will not qualify. How will you compensate these people if this proceeds? We MUST stay in Broadstone!!

To whom it may concern I understand that the review of boundaries is proceeding for Broadstone and Creekmoor. This is very disturbing to hear as being a resident of Kingcup Close for 25 years, having moved from the Creekmoor Ward, my family are very much part of the Broadstone Community. Our daughter went through the Education system in the Broadstone area, attending the First, Middle and Secondary schools. We moved from Creekmoor for that very reason, and we have built strong links. Our dentist, doctor, vets and church are based in Broadstone and we join in community activities. The high street in Broadstone is a real hub and Creekmoor does not and cannot offer similar facilities. We frequently walk into Broadstone and regularly use the library, coffee shops and local restaurants etc. We attend Christmas and Easter festivals at the local churches and use the local sports leisure centre. Pinesprings considers itself to be strong and active members of the Broadstone community and should remain in the existing ward. Regards

So here we are again defending our wishes. As previously stated when our boundaries were trying to be changed, (not very long ago), please be advised that we chose Broadstone 28yrs ago because we liked the environment, facilities, community, churches, library, clubs, friends etc. etc. and no doubt we paid extra for those advantages when we bought our house. We have been very happy with our Broadstone environment and we STILL do not want to change it. Nor do we wish to amend our address with every commercial and private contact.

Re , Broadstone, We have had a notification from our Local Councillors that there is a Review of relocating and merging our property with a Broadstone address into the Creekmoor Ward. We are less than half a mile from the Broadway - the centre of Broadstone. This proposal will be totally opposed by us for several reasons - the main reason being the selling price of our property under a Creekmoor address. We bought this property, , two years ago this month. We were told by several Estate Agents, our Solicitor and Surveyor that this property would be considerably cheaper if it had a Creekmoor address. If this proposal should go through, do the Boundaries Commission compensate us for the difference in price between similar properties in Creekmoor, plus the inconvenience of having to notify change of address to everyone where we appear on their mailing list, including Banks, Local and National Authorities, Professional Advisers, Companies, Friends and relations? Please reconsider this change of Boundary.

It is clear that Pinesprings can be added to Creekmoor as it is closer to Creekmoor than some other areas that are already in the Creekmoor Ward. However I believe that it makes no sense to move roads north of Hillbourne Road, which currently sit in the Broadstone Ward into the Creekmoor Ward. We feel very much part of the Broadstone community. We regularly walk into Broadstone for shopping etc. We never visit the Creekmoor area, it is nowhere near to us. Our children attend schools in Broadstone and we are part of the Broadstone community and wish to remain so.

I object to you changing the boundaries of the Broadstone ward. there is already an established boundary and we have just voted on the Broadstone plan. The broadstone plan already has established boundaries that look to be at natural boundaries ie roads. How can you just decide to end the broadstone ward at just a house number in york road ( no 63) I find this totally illogical . The existing boundary for the broadstone plan is Lytham rd I think which is accepted by everyone. The house numbering in york road is odds one side and evens the other but is not in step equally from side to side

Centralisation might save money on paper but it does not necessarily improve infrastructure or result in efficiency. It give power to fewer people, especially in public sector councils who can be out of touch with local needs and more importantly do not have the management skills required for such a project. It also puts too much power in the hands of individuals who have their own agenda. Centralisation on this scale will result in increased bureaucracy, decisions being made that are out of touch with local users and communities. Example? Look no further than the EU. Grassroots needs/opinions will be ignored.

The creekmoor boundary is far too big and makes no sense to include roads off York road, with perhaps the exception of those nearer the end near Sopers Lane/Siemens. Areas such as Twin Oaks Close, Lytham Road, Ribble Close, Beechwood Close are part of the broadstone community. Not creekmoor, it is completely separate needs and requirements. I like in Twin Oaks Close and have never been to Creekmoor since moving here, and regularly walk and use the local shops and services in broadstone and therefore my councillors should reflect that.

I fail to understand why the roads on Pinesprings Drive are proposed to be recategorised in this way when the essence of the community which it utilises is all Broadstone based. Local shops, sports facilities, health and social / NHS facilities are all in their local community, yet the changes would see them having no influence or electoral input over the community representation. This can surely serve no positive benefit to the community or the residents. Such a change would seriously make us consider whether we actually wish to remain living in the area.

Firstly I have to say that this is all a paper excercise. I truly believe that you will take no notice of people’s wishes. I live in POOLE and strongly object to being taken over by Bournemouth. Yes I know it’s supposed to be an ammalgation of the 3 councils but the people of DID NOT have a demorcratic vote about the changes. The consultation paper was only sent to a very low number of addresses and there was NO option for staying as we were. POOLE split away from DORSET county council many years ago, to go it alone as it was thought we could be better on our own. Now, the ruling Councillors, have decided that 3 councils should join together, with all the monetary expense that that will involve. The ruling Councillors are too strong and there is not enough opposition on the various committees to represent at lot of residents. So good luck to Christchurch council, who are trying to fight this, through the courts. Thank you.

Dear Sir As a member of POKESDOWN Community Forum and the Boscombe & POKESDOWN Neighbourhood Plan Working Group, I would like to request you give consideration to renaming the current Boscombe East Ward, to POKESDOWN. POKESDOWN dating back to Celtic times, was originally a farm, then a hamlet, and existed long before Southbourne, Boscombe or Bournemouth. The B&PNP is acknowledged to be one of the strongest Neighbourhood Plans in the area. It is not called the Boscombe and Boscombe East Neighbourhood Plan, but the Boscombe & POKESDOWN Neighbourhood Plan, thus acknowledging POKESDOWN is a ward in it’s own right, not an annexe to Boscombe. POKESDOWN has it’s own railway station called POKESDOWN shortly to be renovated and lifts installed. POKESDOWN was the first borough on the South Coast to have it’s own Town Council. On all maps we are called POKESDOWN, not Boscombe East. We are proud to live in POKESDOWN and if possible would dearly like this to be acknowledged in your ward boundary changes please. Regards

Dear Sir, Re: Council Ward Boundary Review I wish to write to strongly oppose the changes to council ward boundary, which will see my home being moved into Creekmoor. I feel like there are other alternatives which will mean that a strong community is not divided up. Myself and my family contribute hugely to the local economy of Broadstone, all the services I use are in Broadstone including banking, retail, leisure (Junction and all the beautiful open spaces), St John’s Church, doctors (Hadleigh House) as well as the charities that I give money to. I walk to Broadstone centre on almost a daily basis, something which I cannot do with Creekmoor. Additionally, my children attend the school, which has tremendous links with the community and is a reason I chose to move to Broadstone , which sees me investing a lot of my time in this area, because I care about it. We have no links with Creekmoor. We do not visit Creekmoor aside to driving through it. I want to be able to vote for councillors that have the ability to change and contribute to the area which I love and spend most of my time and money. I want to be part of the change that Broadstone needs in the near future relating to the community plan, for example the parking issues ‐ not having a vote on this issue will be extremely detrimental. I sincerely hope that you reconsider your decision to move the boundary, as it would be to the detriment of Broadstone and my life within this town. Regards
