West Howe Action Plan
Update April 2015
Our Vision for West Howe
Residents enjoy good health and a high standard of living, have high aspirations and the resources and opportunities to achieve them. They make use of all the
facilities and opportunities that Bournemouth offers. People aspire to live in West Howe because of the sense of community and its great and varied local
facilities.
Skills
People want to create a better life for themselves, their families and their community. They can access the training and education they need to develop skills
and achieve their ambitions, improve their health and take control over their life.
Relationships are respectful and constructive. People have self respect, high and realistic aspirations which they are able to achieve.
Finances
People manage their money well and take up all opportunities to secure employment and improve their economic situation.
Place
There are inspiring and entertaining things to do for all ages in high quality buildings and spaces. People make good use of local parks and open spaces and
there is a focal point for community activity, bringing people together.
