The magazine of Bournemouth Borough Council
The Council's magazine is called BH Life and it is delivered to homes bi-monthly (every other month). 'BH' is the Bournemouth postcode and we think the 'life' part of the title more accurately reflects the content of the magazine. The magazine is packed with news of developments, initiatives and schemes in the town as well as interesting features, events and other useful information. We are also working with partners including the Royal Bournemouth Hospital to bring you their news. We are trying to include more community information and welcome news from voluntary and community groups.
