Councillor Sara Armstrong (East Cliff & Springbourne) says: "Thanks to Green Party community volunteers Pippa Gillingham and Andrew, local residents, BCP family centre staff and Travis Perkins for all their hard work in the Boscombe Family Hub outdoor space today, restoring this vital outdoor space to glory. Many families in East Cliff & Springbourne do not have access to their own garden. Having a useable outdoor, safe, space at the hub for families is key to improving their mental health and wellbeing, building connections and playing together."

An unsecured, empty property at 21 Knole Road in Springbourne has attracted fly tipping, squatting and anti social behaviour that has made residents feel incredibly unsafe. Local Councillor Sara Armstrong met with Dorset Police and BCP Council officers to discuss the issue. In the absence of a response from the landlord and various notices served, BCP Council took legal action and took the landlord to task for the neglect of their property. Dorset Police attended on 15 July to board up the property and secure it to ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents.

Today Sara Armstrong was delighted to meet Chris and Danny from BCP Council Highways for an update on the damaged drain. This first came to light last year as a direct result of residents and Sara as their councillor, lobbying officers to get the drain investigated and repaired. During this it came to light that a utility company had damaged the infrastructure and not reported it.

Councillor Sara Armstrong (East Cliff & Springbourne) writes: "This afternoon I've been out finding new homes out in the community for some of the legacy plants from the now closed Kings Park Nursery. Residents at Vale Road complex and Marchwood on Manor Road were only too pleased to plant these hardy perennials in their community gardens. Since the closure of Kings Park Nursery, I've also found new homes for plants at Knyveton Gardens Park and East Howe Youth Centre."
