This site has been introduced to promote contact and discussion between the excellent residents of Boscombe's award winning new development, for the ultimate purpose of enhancing the lifestyle of owners and residents.

Many people have commented that this is an opportunity to share ideas, discuss improvements and generally become better neighbours, in this large development where it may otherwise take months to meet people by chance.

Participants will be required to agree that their use for the site is solely for the overall good of the community and will be excluded if there is any misuse of the notice board and forums on offer. This will maintain high standards from the very start.
