Comment text: We live at Edwina Drive, and strongly object to the boundry being changed to bring us into the Creekmoor Ward. Our church, supermarkets,shops, doctor, dentist,chiropractor and library are all in Broadstone, where we regularly vis t and we are part of that community not that of Creekmoor. We therefore want to continue to vote for Broadstone councillors, so that we can continue to have a say in our own area.

Dear Alison,
I understand that the Government Boundary Commission are looking at moving parts of Broadstone into the Creekmoor ward, my family & I live in an area called Pinesprings within the Broadstone area which under the current proposals would be split into two distinct areas & would see the part we live in fall under a Creekmoor ward.
We would like to say that we are strongly opposed to the potential boundary ward changes based upon the following :‐
We very much feel allied to the Broadstone area, as our Doctors are there, our banks are there, we shop there, and we use the Post Office & the Library facilities & much more.
Pinesprings was designed & built as a complete entity & should not be split up.
Broadstone & Creekmoor are not only separated by natural terrain but also by the Castlemain Trailway.
Our son until recently was schooled in Broadstone schools.
Broadstone has a strong community feel to it, this should not be undermined.
We feel very proud to be part of Broadstone & its community, by moving our part of Broadstone into Creekmoor would I feel make us feel like outsiders.
1 Please would you reconsider your current proposals to move parts of Broadstone to within the Creekmoor ward & seek alternative solutions as suggested by the local Lib Dem & Conservative councillors who both have workable solutions that keep Broadstone intact – as it should be!
Kind Regards
Anthony, & Joanna Preston.

Dear Sirs,
The Local Government Boundaries Commission is currently reviewing ward boundaries in Poole.
We elect Members of Parliament on the basis if single-member constituencies where each elector has one vote.
Is there any reason why "one member one vote" cannot also apply to the election of councillors in the Borough of Poole?
Yours faithfully, John Probert

From: Dr Ramsden Sent: 03 January 2014 17:11 To: Reviews@ Subject: Poole
Sir
Having lived on Oakley Hill, for the last 2½ years, I wish to ask that the Commission gives serious thought to restoring the area where we live to Wimborne. The postal address is Wimborne and there can be no doubt that the vast majority of residents regard Wimborne as their town and as such conduct most of their business there. Speaking for my wife and myself, 85‐90% of our regular shopping is done in Wimborne, our G.P.’s surgery is in Wimborne, we are members of a Church in Wimborne. On top of that the public transport links to Poole are poor, being subject to two circuitous routes through housing developments, and do not take in either the hospital or the railway station.
I recognize, of course, that the River Stour offers an apparently convenient boundary, but by the same token there is a significant band of land, between Merley and Broadstone, which would serve just as well, no less clearly and make much greater sense.
Since I cannot conceive that anyone in their right mind would try to pretend that we lived other than in Wimborne, please acknowledge this reality by adjusting the boundary appropriately.
Yours faithfully
Dr. J. T. Ramsden

From: Andrew Reynolds Sent: 13 December 2013 17:43 To: Evison, Alison Cc: Subject: Proposed changes to the Broadstone and Creekmoor (Poole) ward boundary
Dear Miss Evison, I am a resident in Sorrel Gardens, and I have learned that the Boundary Commission is again reviewing the proposed boundary between the Creekmoor and Broadstone wards. Looking at your website it appears that the current line proposed keeps Sorrel Gardens within the Broadstone ward.
I understand that certain political groups may be seeking to propose that Sorrel Gardens, and other roads within the immediate Pinesprings neighbourhood locality, should be moved from the Broadstone to the Creekmore ward. I have seen no evidence of this and to date the Council’s Report that is due to go to Full Council on 17th December 2013 is not currently available to view.
I am totally opposed to any proposal that feels it can justify moving Sorrel Gardens to be within the Creekmoor ward.
Creekmoor is a completely separate neighbourhood to that of Broadstone, which Sorrel Gardens and the Pinesprings neighbourhood is closely associated with. There is a distinct natural geological separation between Sorrel Gardens and other Pinespring Roads with that of Creekmoor. The Pinesprings development was an extension to Broadstone, not Creekmoor, and should remain as a single neighbourhood rather than being split. The majority of the children attend the primary, secondary and upper schools within Broadstone and as such play a significant role in supporting many events in Broadstone as well as the local businesses after school and at weekends. Many of us are affiliated to the Broadstone Residents Association and Neighbourhood Watch scheme. Public transport routes directly connect Pinesprings residents to Broadstone, there is direct route from Creekmoor. We support local businesses in Broadstone, it is a rare example of a thriving centre with a good range of independent retailers, all of whom rely on our continuing trade.
Your previous Report did not support any change and I fail to see why this is again being considered. There has been no major new development in either ward that has dramatically altered the population that creates a potential in balance in the local population ratio to the number of councillors.
Such a change may also affect voter turnout as many residents would not wish to go in to Creekmoor to vote.
Please take these comments as my formal response to your consultation.
Kind regards, Andrew

Dear Madam
In framing this email opposing the proposed boundary changes it is necessary for me to ask whether statutory consultation procedures have been followed by Poole Council Officers and indeed the Commissioners in respect of the consultation timetable/communication with residents potentially affected. I await your response on these issues. If indeed there are discrepancies could I suggest that to avoid the risk of legal challenge and give residents a reasonable time period to respond the deadline be put back.
3 years ago my partner Pippa Longley and I relocated from Creekmoor to Broadstone Pine Springs Being a physically fit person I run through areas of Creekmoor and Broadstone every day ‐ I used to compete at international level ‐ and am always struck by how the natural terrain separates out the 2 geographic areas. Creekmoor is a distinctive geographic area in its own right as is Broadstone.
What both my partner and I find so positive is the Community feel of Broadstone. This is evident to us in the local businesses /schools/ groups in Broadstone including our doctors' surgery, local amateur dramatics,sports centre, banks and the large number of local shops, all of which we support. In the short time we have lived here we have developed a tremendous affinity with Broadstone and would strongly oppose Pine Springs being hived off.
We have both studied the literature which has arrived from the local Lib Dem Party and very much at the last minute from the local Conservative Party. We are in favour of a proposal which has enmerged to have 2 wards for Broadstone ‐ East and West ‐ both with 2 councillors, and keeping Pine Springs in what would be Broadstone West. To restate, we strongly oppose Pine Springs being hived off to be part of the Creeemoor Ward.

From: Gabi Sanger-Stevens Sent: 03 January 2014 08:59 To: Reviews@ Subject: Ward Boundaries in Poole
Dear Sirs
Please consider an amendment to the current boundaries between the Oakdale Ward and the Newtown Ward. The current boundary runs along Foxholes Road from Ringwood Road. A more natural boundary would be to include all dwellings from Ringwood Road along St Clements Road westward into the Oakdale Ward. This would bring together homes that have an interest in the schools and facilities available in the Oakdale Ward. This would also facilitate a natural boundary between the domestic habitation and the industrial and commercial properties to the East of St Clements Road. This revised boundary should result in a more even distribution of constituents between the Oakdale and Newtown wards.
I look forward to receiving your comments.
Kind Regards Gabriele Sanger‐Stevens

Dear Sirs,
My name is Mr Admir Selimovic and I live with my family at Sundew Road,
We have concerns about possible boundary changes to the existing Broadstone ward.
We have been very happy with the way how it has been for all this past years and we wish to remain in Broadstone ward. We are part of the local Broadstone community and we regularly attend local clubs, doctor's surgery, community events, organisations, local shopping and everything else that this small but very close and well connected community has to offer. We are naturalized British citizens but extremely well adjusted and fully integrated to the Broadstone community. Originally we came to UK in 1993 from Bosnia during the war and have had changed our addresses in England so many times in the past 20 years. We finally find our peace in Broadstone and for the last 12 years we have been living at this address and been extremely happy. We consider this as our home, our children went to local schools and we have always been very welcomed by our neighbours . We have no any other family in England but we feel that Broadstone is our big family and we don't want this family to split.
Should you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours fitfully,
Mr Admir Selimovic and family

Dear Madam
It has been brought to my attention that once again boundary changes are being proposed for my neighbourhood to be removed from Broadstone and moved into Creekmoor. Last time this was suggested we had rather more time to make our feelings clear but thankfully & hopefully the local grapevine has done its job to prevent this happening by stealth.
I wish to voice my opposition once again to this move which was last mooted over 10 years ago and was met by a large opposing petition from local residents which I expect this time will not happen due to the lack of notice to us and the time of year meaning busy people have other things on their plate.I feel certain you would see widespread opposition once again were due notice & time be allowed.
Within the Pinesprings community we have always had affinity with Broadstone for shopping, schools, medical services and other facilities, indeed we were at last weekend’s Xmas parade. We feel part of this community and do not wish to be annexed with another with which we do not have the same affinity.Our children have grown up here, attended the schools locally and all of us feel we belong to and wish to remain part of the Broadstone community.
Can you please ensure my voice and those others who have found time at this busy time of year to do so is heard?
Can I also suggest that the deadline be delayed and the residents given proper notice of this important change? In a matter of local democracy it is only correct that the people concerned are told of proposed changes and given enough time to respond. I do not believe this has happened and wish to voice my annoyance that this has conveniently not been done this time.
Thank you

Dear Ms. Evison,
I write in regard to the boundary change in Pinesprings, Broadstone. I have been a resident for 23 years, been educated in Broadstone, go shopping there and socialise with friends in Broadstone pubs. As such, I see Broadstone as MY community and wish to remain part of it. I also feel that the decision to consider changes at this busy time of year is INTERESTING. Were you perhaps hoping that busy people at this time of year would overlook this? Or that simply would not have time to deal with it?
I wish to formally object to these changes and DO NOT want to be part of Creekmoor. I would therefore like to voice my opposition to this proposed change.
Yours Sincerely,
Ross Smith Pinesprings Resident

Comment text: Hi, My family and I live on York Road, almost opposite the junct on with ). We are currently w thin the Broadstone ward, but are very close to the border with the Creekmoor ward, and are concerned that any changes may result in our becoming part of the Creekmoor ward. We have lived here for over 20 years, and would like to make it clear that we are very much part of the Broadstone community, and do not feel it would be appropriate to be represented by Creekmoor. Our children attended Broadstone schools, our doctor's surgery is in Broadstone, and we attend clubs, library and social facil ties in Broadstone. In addition, the Broadstone community of shops and services is by far the most convenient for us, and is where we have always shopped. None of this would change if we were to become part of the Creekmoor ward, but we would no longer have representat on within the community we are part of. In short, we are part of the Broadstone community, and wish to remain within the Broadstone ward. Regards, Terry Smyth

We are writing to voice our objection to the above.
Keighley avenue is nearer to the broadstone broadway where we use the library bank doctor shopping facilities dentist sports facility and recreation area. To describe where our property is located using a BROADSTONE ADDRESS tells a potential purchaser how near to these facilities we are. If as we have been told the conservatives wish to change our postal address to creekmoor it would be assumed to all viewing our location as closer to facilities in creekmoor WHICH IS NOT THE CASE. THERE IS A ROAD CALLED THE BROADSTONE WAY SEPERATING US FROM CREEKMOOR WE CANNOT CROSS THIS IN OUR VEHICLE. WE HAVE TO TRAVEL DOWN SOPERS LANE ALONG THE WIMBORNE ROAD INTO CABOT LANE ETC ETC. THESE ROADS ARE VERY BUSY THEY NARE MAI ROADS INTO POOLE WHY DO THE CONSERVATIVES WISH TO LOAD YET MORE VEHICLES ONTO THESE BUSY ROADS. WE HAVE LIVED IN KEIGHLEY AVENUE FOR 48 years we have always considered ourselves as living in BROADSTONE. What benefit will It be to the CONSERVATIVES to change us to CREEKMOOR . We purchased our property with a Broadstone address we paid more for the area we moved into WHO WILL COMPENSATE US FOR MOVING OUR ADDRESS TO CREEKMOOR. We object strongly to this proposal

Dear Sir Council Ward balance consultation
Dear Sir
On Tuesday 17th December Poole Council decided to recommend changing the 2 by three Councillor wards in the Creekmoor / Broadstone area into 3 by two Councillor wards. I strongly object to this decision as it destroys long established boundaries, ignores the proximity of community facilities such as the school's catchment area, parks, shops, libraries and youth centers.
Please do not agree to the Council's recommendation which I believe is based upon political ambitions and will destroy the very strong communities that exist in Broadstone and Creekmoor.
Yours sincerely

Dear Madam,
We wish to be included within the Broadstone Ward. Our postal address is Broadstone, being Clarence Gardens, We have lived at this address for 8 years but in our previous house in Broadstone for 25 years. When we moved here we were shocked to find we could not vote for Broadstone Councillors as we were told we were in the Creekmoor Ward. We have nothing to do with Creekmoor, which is quite some distance from our home .We shop in Broadstone which is less than a ten minute walk from us, where we use the library, have our doctors and dentist. We belong to the Broadstone Residents Association and our children went to all the Broadstone schools. We are retired now and moved to this bungalow to be near all the facilites of Broadstone and consider ourselves Broadstone people. At the last local elections, as we were in the Creekmoor Ward which has nothing to do with us, we did not vote. We would very much like to be included in the Broadstone Ward and vote for the people we want to represent us in Broadstone.

POOLE LOCAL COUNCIL WARD BOUNDARIES
I wish the following to be taken into consideration when the Local Government Boundary Commission for England review the boundaries for local elections in the area of Poole where I live
I write as a resident of Sorrel Gardens, Broadstone.
It is my submission that the area of Broadstone in which I live, known as Pinesprings is an integral part of the Broadstone and should remain so.
The basis for my submission is 5fold:-
1. The nature of the housing in Pinesprings, being private detached homes, is consistent with the rest of Broadstone where the vast majority of homes are private and detached. This means that the issues and aspirations of the residents will be similar. This is not the case with the bordering wards where the demographics are significantly different, and which would not have a natural or desirable fit.
2. The natural boundaries for the area of Broadstone where I live are obvious and not manipulated by being forced between back-gardens to balance numbers. The current boundary is the Castleman Trail ( the old railway line from Wimborne to Poole) and this appears to be the natural boundary for Broadstone. There are other alternatives that could be considered if numbers need to be manipulated that would maintain the integrity and demographics of Broadstone. Firstly, an alternative road boundary ( Beechbank Avenue) which would bring similar properties into the Broadstone wards if that would help number management. Secondly ,Pinesprings Road could be considered as another boundary but this would split the Pinesprings area and lose the continuity of the area attached to West Way from which Pinesprings originally extended.
3. We have lived in Broadstone since 2001, and our children have gone to school in the Broadstone pyramid since 1987 and still firmly associate themselves with Broadstone, rather than Poole in general, although they now live away from the area.
4. We use Broadstone for all our local shopping, health needs and socialising. We regularly use the restaurants and pubs and shop locally at least 3/4 times a week. We have been members of , and used, most of the Broadstone organisations and facilities, starting in the 1980s with the cricket club and then adding the sports centre, Golf Club, Table tennis club, Conservative and RBL clubs. Like many of our neighbours all

We are writing to oppose the proposal to move the boundary to include Edwina Drive into the Creekmore Ward. We are registered at the Hadleigh Doctors Practice, Broadstone, which we have attended for the past 17 years & have a good relationship with our Doctor, which as OAP's with chronic heart & blood pressure problems is extremely important to us. Similarly we are members of Broadstone British Legion which we frequently attend, having utilised the facilities in the High Street. We have always considered ourselves as part of the Broadstone community & therefore wish to remain within the Broadstone Ward, where we have the opportunity to vote for the Broadstone Councillors. As a parting observation, if we'd wanted to live in the Creekmore area, we would have bought a property in that area (at a lower price as it is a cheaper area, according to local Estate Agents!) Consequently this proposal would effectively reduce the resale value of our property. This proposal appears to be a political move by the Broadstone & Creekmore Conservatives to move the current emphasis of votes into their favour! A simple look at the local map would show that Edwina Drive is some considerable distance from the Creekmore boundary.

To the Review Officer (Poole), Local Government Boundary Commission for England
I understand your Commission are considering a proposal to transfer Kingcup Close and, presumably, other roads off Pinesprings from Broadstone to Creekmoor Ward in Poole.
Such an idea is absolutely ludicrous. The lifestyle of my wife and I is totally linked to the Broadstone community. Our bank is in Broadstone; we swim every day at Virgin Leisure Centre in Broadstone and we also use the Broadstone Leisure Centre; we shop most days in Broadstone town centre; I play golf at Broadstone Golf Club; we use Broadstone Library; our doctors' surgery is in Broadstone and my wife travels almost daily by bus into Broadstone via Broadstone Way/Holes Bay Road; we access many of our local tradesmen through the Broadstone Link publication and have participated in the Broadstone Neighbourhood Watch.
We have absolutely no knowledge of the Creekmoor community or the location ofs it facilities, none of which we have ever used. Indeed, our only knowledge of Creekmoor is of occasionally cutting through it on the way to the A35 and Dorchester or Weymouth.
I shall, therefore, be grateful that when Poole Ward Boundaries are considered Kingcup Close should be left where it is, in the community that it belongs to, namely Broadstone! Michael Taylor (and Mrs Vivienne Taylor)

I felt I should write in support of the boundary changes in Broadstone. At present my address comes under Creekmoor. I never go to Creekmoor there is nothing there for me to go to. All my activities are based at Broadstone. I belong to several groups i.e. Broadstone Townswomens Guild, The Gadabouts, The Go ahead Ladies, Methodist Church. The Library, my Bank and Building Society, it is also where my G.P. is based. My daily papers are delivered, it is where I do all of my shopping i.e. Butchers, Bakers, Budgens. I also meet my friends in a cafe’ for coffee or lunch. I also enjoy meeting with other community groups. Perhaps you can see why I support the boundary changes, I consider myself to be in Broadstone. If any of the clubs closed the boundaries i.e. Broadstone people only I would be at a loss. There is nothing for me in Creekmoor, my life and activities are in Broadstone. My name and address is Rita Taylor, . Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

We are totally against our road ‐ Twin Oaks Close ‐ being moved from Broadstone to the Creekmoor Ward.
We moved to Broadstone as it is a lovely community/a village with top quality housing and facilities. We spend money in the Broadstone shops, often worship at the church, attend the Dance School twice a week etc. and generally feel part of the Broadstone community.
We definitely do not want to become part of the Creekmoor Ward.

Please accept my submission into the review and proposed changes to the make up of wards in the borough of Poole.
I support the Conservative proposal submitted by Councillor Peter Adams for two three Councillor wards which will cause minimum disruption to the area and preserve the long standing communities in this area. The Liberal Democrat proposal is catastrophic moving 8000 people from their existing boundaries and as a resident this area since 1991 I totally disagree with these proposals.

Hi Alison Review Officer (Poole)
Regarding the proposed Broadstone Boundary review. I would like to make a submission to the review not to move Cowslip Road to the Creekmoor ward and to remain in the Broadstone Ward. I have been a Broadstone resident living in Cowslip Road for over 12 years using its’ schools, shops, GP surgery, church and other facilities and strongly object to moving to the Creekmoor ward. I feel that my family and I are strongly part of the Broadstone community and wish to remain. The Castleman Trailway acts as a good natural boundary between Creekmoor and Broasdtone. As a second preference I would be happy for the Broadstone ward to be split into east and west keeping the Broadstone Community together.
Best Regards

Hello Alison My wife and I live in the northern part of what is currently defined as the Creekmoor Ward - Renault Drive We wish to support the Poole Borough proposal that would reposition us in the Broadstone (East) Ward. There is a barrier that divides our home from the Creekmoor area - namely Broadstone Way. Because of this, we never use any of the services located in Creekmoor e.g. shops, medical facilities, churches. All our requirements in this respect are met by locations on the Broadstone Broadway or in the close vicinity. Placing us in the Creekmoor Ward always seemed a divisive thing to do. Yours Sincerely Mavis & Malcolm Townend

Dear Sir,
Since being made aware of the possibility of a ward boundary change which would result in my home no longer being in the Broadstone Ward I have carefully reviewed my affiliations and community involvement since taking up residence in 1981.
Because of the proximity to the Broadstone Broadway, quite naturally, we consider it to be our 'local shops'. Our doctor's surgery, the church I attend (irregularly…), my library and the schools my son attended are all located in Broadstone. My involvement, although not extensive, with local resident matters has always been with a Broadstone focus.
I definitely wish to remain within the Broadstone Ward and oppose any proposal to artificially separate me from my natural community. In many ways my postal address says it most succinctly,
York Close, Broadstone,
Thank you for this opportunity to present my views and wishes which I hope will be taken into account.
Yours faithfully,
John V.S. Turner

I would just like to thank you for taking the trouble to letter drop everyone in the local area to make them aware of the boundary changes. Poole tried this a while ago ‐ possibly 15 years? We all banded together and fought them off. Hopefully we can do it again. The local councillor Mike Brooke, I know is on our side and I think should present our views well, but we do need to send these letters so that it dies a death prior to a decision. Once it is made, it is very difficult to change their mind.

Comment text: There is already an accepted natural boundary south of 'Pine Springs' that runs south of the old railway line woodland trail and incorporating the Beechbank Ave main commuter route separating Broadstone and Creekmoor. The area of Kingcup Close is part of my local school community catchment area and from where I attended all the Broadstone schools; it is the recognised street-scene for my beaver, cub and scout troops. Kingcup Close, the Roman Road, and the woodland trailway running over the old Broadstone railway line goes straight from outside my door direct to Broadstone Highstreet - it is where my local Broadstone sports clubs train, cycle, and socialise. The Highstreet is a straight-arrow run, cycle, drive to my local shops, bank, surgery, church, voluntary work, and friends. My neighbours are also part of Broadstone, and we all converge into the centre for the annual Christmas Parade, and 'Summer Jam'. When I have been fortunate enough to meet fellow Broadstonians on my service overseas, we have all identified the Kingcup Close and Broadstone Area in terms of the current physical natural boundaries, as already mentioned. It is nonsens cal to place the Kingcup Close area outside of Broadstone. I favour the 2;2;2 Councillor proposal - splitting Broadstone into an East and a West, each having two councillors as this allows for greater and equal representation regarding current and future expansion.

Review Officer (Poole).
I wish to complain about the proposal to change the ward boundary, moving my house from Broadstone to Creekmore Ward.
The Pinesprings development has always been associated with Broadstone. There is no obvious connection with the Creekmore Ward.
The residents of Pinesprings wish to remain part of Broadstone. Do not make this change.

Dear Alison,
I live in Cowslip Road, Broadstone. I would like to state that I believe that this road should stay within Broadstone ward as it is very much part of the Broadstone community. From my personal point of view, my daughter goes to pre‐school in Broadstone, my family and I all use the leisure centre in Broadstone, the doctors, shops, cafes. We recently took part in the annual Christmas parade in Broadstone. We have applied for our daughter to start school at Broadstone First school next year. We sometimes go to St John's church in Broadstone. I feel very much part of the Broadstone community and would be extremley disappointed if this were to change.
If you have any queries, please contact me.
Yours sincerely
Emma Waters

Hello Alison,
Happy New Year!
I am sending this e‐mail to say that I live in Broadstone and would like to remain in the Broadstone Ward.
I have several reasons for this, some of which are: ‐ I am registered along with my family at the Dr's surgery in Broadstone and we have a good bond with our family GP; ‐ My children go to schools located in Broadstone; ‐ My family and I use several shops and businesses in Broadstone and feel the importance of supporting local businesses; ‐ We attend St. John's Church in Broadstone; ‐ We feel a close part of community events held in Broadstone, such as the Christmas Parade, which brings the community together and should not be split.
These are just some of the many reasons why I want to remain in the Broadstone Ward. My family and I have a strong affiliation with Broadstone and are very much part of Broadstone. I consider my life, family and property to be in Broadstone and therefore need representation from a Broadstone Ward Councillor.
Kind regards,
Roy Waters

I have received several notifications re the above, some of which are conflicting. However, if it is proposed to sever Pinesprings from the Broadstone Ward, I would object most strongly.
I have been a Broadstone resident for almost 50 years, and at my present address in Cowslip Road for 20 years. The hub of my activities has always centred around the Broadstone shopping centre, Broadstone Post Office, Broadstone library, Broadstone church and I bank in Broadstone. Also my doctor and dentist are situated on Broadstone Broadway.
I have no connections with Creekmoor as I feel all my needs are met by those provided by Broadstone.
I trust representation will be made to the Commissioners that the residents of Broadstone wish to remain so.

Hello I have just received a letter from our local councillors informing me of a possible boundary change concerning my road. This has come as a total shock to us as it's the first we have heard of it. I have been given your email address as a commissioner to write to. For the last 20 years we have lived in Broadstone, have a Broadstone post code. I work in a Broadstone school, shop,bank and see a Broadstone doctor. In all we live in the Village of Broadstone.If the boundary were to change we would no longer be able to vote for Broadstone councillors. We have nothing against Creekmoor but it's not where we live. What my wife and I can't understand is WHY is this ever being proposed as it all works well as it is and is only going to cause upset and worry. Our reason for writing to you is to register our upset to the possible change and it's consequence for my road. Thank you. Yours sincerely Mr & Mrs K Wiffen.

Dear Madam
I would like to register my concern at the proposal to incorporate the Pinesprings area of Broadstone with Creekmoor.
Looking at a map I know this appears to be feasible but in reality it is not a good decision. Pinesprings is completely cut off from Creekmoor village by the old railway line, woodlands and a deep valley.
I can access a large selection of shops, the chemist ,doctor's surgery , restaurants pub ,library etc by a regular bus service which gets me to Broadstone within 10mins. (inc walking time to the bus stop). To reach the library in Creekmoor it takes 3 buses and the best part of an hour. Therefore to play an active part in that community is not at all practical.
Many people in the Pinesprings area support Broadstone through volunteer work. This before the Big Society was thought of. My husband works with Books on Wheels,from Broadstone library and helps at local coffee mornings and lunch clubs for the elderly. Without the work of some of my immediate neighbours there would be no Brownie pack or Scout troop. Youngsters attend Broadstone schools and have an empathy with Broadstone.
Just a small point, but a valid one . To drive to Creekmoor village one negotiates a road covered in "sleeping policemen" so most drivers avoid it and access Poole via Broadstone.
I'm certain you will receive many letters and emails and I hope you find time to read this one and take note of the concerns.

Dear Alison
I understand that consideration is being given to changing the Broadstone ward boundaries and I am writing to register my objection to the proposed changes.
We have lived in Twin Oaks for over 20 years and have always been part of the Broadstone community. We are registered with a Broadstone surgery, have attended a local church, and our children attended Broadstone schools. It would in my view make no sense at all to split the local community and bring our road under the Creekmoor ward as is being considered.
Please register my objection to the proposed changes and my view that the boundaries should remain as they are at present.
With best wishes Terry Yarrow Twin Oaks resident.
