BCP Elections

Thursday 2 May saw the people of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole take to the polling booths to vote for their representatives on the newly created Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole (BCP) Authority.

Following comments from our readers and local people, BH Living invited those standing for election to submit letters to us outlining what they were standing for and why they were seeking your vote. We didn’t receive letters from all candidates unfortunately, but those that did write in, we’ve published below.

Full election results will be published as the results come in. Follow us on Twitter

We’ll be live at the count and will be tweeting the results using the hashtag #bcpelections
