BCP Council’s 10-year Growth Plan proposes a tram system for Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole to enhance connectivity, sustainability, and inclusiveness by 2036. Goals include tackling congestion and improving access to services and employment. Ultra-light rail and reopening the Hamworthy branch line are among the suggested transport improvements. Councillors expressed support but highlighted concerns about funding, delivery, and limited land for development. Councillor Lesley Dedman emphasized the need for more detailed plans, while Richard Herrett noted the importance of central government support. The plan also targets regeneration at key areas like Wessex Fields and Bournemouth Airport. A full report is forthcoming.
