Outcome area - Environment
A Service Level Agreement is in place, setting out responsibilities of all services and residents in keeping the streets and parks well
looked after.

The Safe and Clean Team is now half funded by the council and the team has continued throughout the year to deliver additional, responsive services. Working with the wardens and our growing number of street reps., the area is cleaner than ever. Cleanliness standards are graded using the “Encams” gradings and are regularly A or B (where previously C would have been usual).

The street reps also regularly carry out audits (e.g. gullies, street furniture), which informs future service plans and resource allocation.

Welcome signs now greet people entering Boscombe.

The environmental and traffic audit identified a range of proposals for traffic and pedestrian safety and the findings will be presented to the Council with a view to having these findings included in the Local Plan.

Several new schemes have been implemented to ease parking problems and in particular the Churchill Gardens one-way system has been implemented, part funded by the Council, and has received a welcomed response from the local residents.
