On May 7, residents in Bournemouth, Broadstone, and Poole will vote for new town councillors, with results announced the following day. A total of 21 councillors will be elected for Bournemouth and Poole, and eight for Broadstone. Independent candidate Ashley Fraser, running in Branksome West and Penn Hill, emphasizes local issues such as potholes and councillor pay-rises. He seeks a clear distinction on the ballot paper with the descriptor “On your side.” Fraser criticizes “performative politics” and advocates for accountability and local infrastructure repair, aiming to shift the focus from national politics to community needs.
