At its meeting this week the Coastal BID Board approved a funding application for £20,000 which will see the BID becoming a major funding partner working alongside Dorset Police and Bournemouth Council. Feedback from business on the work of the CSPOs persuaded the Board that they are having a significant impact on the precinct. As part of the BID funding, the CSPO’s will begin the patrol an extended area within Boscombe.
