Residents in Lower Parkstone are expressing concerns over new BCP Council ward boundaries that split their community, fearing their distinct identity and priorities will be overlooked. Local voices, including Hazel Jay, highlight feelings of disconnection and dilution of representation, with many unaware of the changes. They emphasize long-standing connections to local areas like Ashley Cross and criticize the arbitrary grouping with Oakdale and Creekmoor. Other residents from Parkstone and Southbourne echoed similar frustrations about losing key community amenities. Overall, there is a strong call for ward boundaries to reflect genuine community ties rather than create artificial divisions.
