RESIDENTS and local councils will be fully consulted on any development proposals in their area, BCP Council’s deputy leader has promised. Councillor Philip Broadhead spoke at an extraordinary meeting of Christchurch Town Council, called after concerns were expressed over ‘opportunities’ put forward in a private email, including the demolition and rebuilding of Saxon Square car park. He blamed ‘miscommunication and misunderstanding’ for the confusion, and said: “There are lots of opportunities and we want to get regeneration right. “But there are also lots of rumours that we are more further advanced than we are, that is 100 per cent not true.
Bowling Club Believed to have been on the site since 1784, the green was used recreationally by locals for both bowls and croquet. In 1925, Christchurch Bowling Club was formed and used the green to host its home games, with the pavilion used as the team’s clubhouse. The land was leased to the then named Christchurch Town Council and then sublet to the club, but the council struggled to support the continued maintenance of the green. However, The Kings Arms hotel, located opposite the green, took over the ownership of the pavilion in 2009, who used it as a wedding venue because of its idyllic situation.
