A SHAKE-UP of council housing management across BCP will be considered by civic chiefs later this month. BCP Council cabinet members will discuss proposals for a new combined service on July 28, with a recommendation to carry out public consultation. Councillor Robert Lawton, portfolio holder for homes said: “Now that BCP Council is one council serving the residents of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, we are reviewing how we manage our council homes and we are considering creating one new service. “The review presents the opportunity to ensure that we are delivering one service that is good quality, consistent and fair for all council tenants and leaseholders across the area.
