Borough of Poole Revenue and Competitors

Poole is a high performing unitary authority on the south coast of England, which despite being the fourth-lowest funded council in the country has big ambitions, an enviable reputation and a record of success.\r\n\r\nOur award winning Twin Sails bridge opened in 2012, is just one example of what we can achieve. This has provided our seafront town with a second harbour crossing, crucial to opening up future development opportunities of brownfield sites in the heart of the community.\r\n\r\nThe local authority and borough we serve both have great potential for further transformation, but alongside significant financial challenges.\r\n\r\nOur priorities:\r\nPromoting the health and well being of our population, especially those who are vulnerable\r\n\r\nSupporting local people to take greater control of their communities to improve the quality of life at local levels\r\n\r\nStimulating and maintaining a vibrant, mixed economy\r\n\r\nProtecting and enhancing our natural and built environment\r\n\r\nEnsuring our children and young people have the chance to achieve their full potential
