Working in Partnership

The Council with our partners (other statutory agencies, the voluntary and community sector, the business sector) are committed to ensuring the services we deliver fit the needs of people visiting, working and living in Bournemouth. To support this we are working with Bournemouth 2026 to establish our Local Area Agreement, a three year programme to improve Bournemouth and deliver the goals of our sustainable community strategy. We are also working to develop a Multi Area Agreement with Poole & Dorset to promote economic growth and productivity improvements within the area's high environmental quality.
