🌸 Bournemouth Coastal BID continues to invest in making our high streets vibrant, welcoming, and full of colour this summer!

Here’s what’s been happening across the area this week:

🌼 Over 75 flower pedestals have now been completed and refreshed with beautiful summer planting, provided by Bournemouth Coastal BID.

🌿 Four stunning pagodas have also been planted and installed, helping to brighten key locations and create an even more attractive environment for residents and visitors.

🚛 Our Green Machine, funded through government support secured by Bournemouth Coastal BID, continues to be a valuable community asset, helping with watering plants, graffiti removal, and maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of the area.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in helping keep Bournemouth’s coastal communities looking their best this summer! ☀️

Bournemouth’s coastline is officially award-winning once again 🏆

From Durley Chine to Fisherman’s Walk and beyond, Bournemouth’s coastline has once again been recognised for its exceptional standards in cleanliness, safety, environmental management, visitor facilities, and water quality.

These nationally recognised awards, funded by Coastal BID, reinforce Bournemouth’s reputation as a high-quality coastal destination for both residents and visitors alike.

This achievement is only possible through the continued collaboration between local organisations, businesses, and the wider community. We work together to create a better business environment, distinctive destination, safer day and night experience and enhanced environment.

Together, we’re continuing to build a stronger, more vibrant Bournemouth. 💙

The Westbourne Motor Show is back 🏎️🙌🏻

What started as an ambitious local event has evolved into one of the South Coast’s most exciting destination experiences, built through years of collaboration, community support, and incredible local business involvement.

In partnership with The British Motor Show, Westbourne has gained national recognition, helping put our coastal district firmly on the map as a place that can deliver large scale events with real impact.

This year marks another huge milestone, with the full closure of the Westbourne one-way system for the very first time, a reflection of just how much the event has grown and the support behind it.

The event is designed to encourage visitors to explore everything Westbourne has to offer while supporting the brilliant independent businesses that make the area so unique.

The Westbourne Motor Show is quickly becoming more than just a car event, it’s a celebration of community, local enterprise, coastal culture, and destination experiences all in one.

Check out the event map and make a day (and evening) of it! ☀️

We are pleased to have supported the Bournemouth Soul & House weekender this year 💛 a brilliant local event that brings energy, vibrancy, and a strong sense of community to our coastline.

Bournemouth continues to play a vital role in supporting a vibrant programme of cultural and music-led events. We are proud to support initiatives that enhance the area’s appeal and contribute to a thriving local economy.

Across the four days, the event welcomed over 700 people passing through its doors, highlighting its growing popularity and impact.

Supporting events like this is central to our commitment to creating a distinctive destination and delivering on our Better Business priorities 🙌🏻

High-quality events such as this not only enrich the visitor experience, but also help to increase footfall, support local businesses, and showcase everything our area has to offer.

A thriving coastal destination is shaped through long-term vision, collaboration, and consistent investment in place.

We operate with a clear strategic framework designed to strengthen the local economy, enhance visitor experience, and support the businesses that give Bournemouth its identity.

This work translates into practical action across the town:
👉🏻 Coordinated safety initiatives that help maintain confidence and comfort for both day and night economies
👉🏻 Targeted destination marketing that elevates Bournemouth’s profile and strengthens its appeal across diverse audiences
👉🏻 Business-focused support that encourages growth, attracts investment, and fosters collaboration across sectors
👉🏻 Ongoing improvements to the public realm that prioritise sustainability, accessibility, and long-term pride in the environment we all share.

Together, these priorities ensure the coastal area continues to evolve as a place where people want to visit, work, and invest, while maintaining the character and quality that make it unique.

A shared commitment, driven by local voices, delivering lasting impact across the coastline.
