Public Art Development Plan

• incorporate public art initiatives into new and refurbished developments and environmental schemes.
• propose new and appropriate practice in Bournemouth and draw on the best practice from elsewhere.
• include de-commissioning, disposal issues and how public art can underpin and incorporate community safety aspirations.
