    Boscombe Spa Village
    New Leisure Facilities

    The area was named ‘Boscombe Spa’ in the 1800’s because the properties of the nearby spring were said to be a health tonic.  We want to return the area to its former glory and become a modern day Boscombe Spa Village - an attractive and relaxing place for Boscombe residents, the people of Bournemouth and for visitors to our Town.

    Boscombe seafront already has a lot going for it.  Many people are proud to live close by, thanks to Boscombe’s unique character and strong community spirit.It is a popular family choice during the summer, has an expanding housing market and visitors who return year after year.

    However, outside of the summer months the seafront at Boscombe is quiet and relatively lifeless with a number of buildings in need of renovation. 

    Already, we have applied to the Heritage Lottery Fund for a much-needed face-lift of Boscombe Chine Gardens, to restore the historically stunning Victorian landscape.

    Over the years there have been many suggestions for revitalising Boscombe Pier and seafront, and a number of private sector schemes have ultimately not proved viable. 

    Bournemouth Council has taken the most achievable of all the ideas to develop a realistic vision for the future and put Boscombe back on the map.

    How will Boscombe Spa Village be created?

    The Bournemouth District Wide Local Plan allows a housing scheme at Honeycombe Chine, as a way to pay for leisure improvements in the surrounding area.  This gives the potential to spend up to £8million on new or restored facilities and attractions.

    In addition to an already thriving local community, the Boscombe Spa Village area will become full of life all year round.
