Building out the information about the new Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council

There is a lot of information that can be added about the new Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council (BCP Council) but most of it will take a good amount of time to find, I am willing to work on this.

One thing that is in my opinion very important is detailing the existence of the Charter Trusts in the Poole and Bournemouth areas of the Council.

Other things that I can think about being important are the results in the first elections to BCP Council that were held in early May 2019, and the subsequent way Council Committees have been divided up amongst the political parties represented on Council.

I plan to use these as a starter but does anyone else have any other suggestions on things I should add? Paulw99 (talk) 00:19, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Tower Park

I’ve tried to improve this article over the last few days (it was badly unsourced) but have had to place heavy reliance on the Bournemouth Echo, which is quite hit and miss and tends to be just about attractions/shops moving in or out. There’s not much on the internet in the way of WP:RS (it’s awash with tripadvisor type stuff and other WP:SELFPUB). If anyone has access to off-internet book sources that may be relevant please add. What’s missing in particular is information on the economic impact Tower Park must have had over the years. Also, some info on Bill Riddle who first devised the project, might be good. WP:RS only of course. DeCausa (talk) 11:03, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
