Councillor Ron Parker, Portfolio Holder for Local Economy, said: "We hope that people will come along and join in this exciting project that will shape the future of our streets. The design shop on Poole Quay will provide an excellent opportunity for people to pop in, have a look and make their comments known. This is a major stage in the regeneration project and it’s important that local people participate, I look forward to seeing some of the suggestions."
John Biggs, Planning & Design, Borough of Poole, said: "Poole is a place of contrasts where care needs to be taken in mixing the new with the old. It is essential that local people get involved and tell us what kinds of places and spaces they would like to see around the town in the future. So if you want to have your say, make sure you come along to one of our ‘streetscape’ venues."
Suggestions from consultation with specific community groups has already included: ensuring public areas were lively and accessible to everyone in the community, providing seats and shelters for watching the bridge open and close, spaces for performance, artworks and fountains. People also highlighted to need to reflect the industrial and maritime history of the town.
