Poole’s independent and local political party

We believe local decisions should be made by people who know Poole, care about Poole, and put Poole first. Poole People stands for transparent local decision-making, protecting Poole’s heritage, and supporting the communities that make our town special.

Local voices. Local priorities. Local action.

Poole People is an independent and local political party focused on what matters here in Poole. We do not make empty promises or rely on party soundbites. We believe in being honest and straightforward, listening to residents, and making considered decisions in public. Our focus has always been simple: protect Poole’s heritage, strengthen its identity, and support its communities.

What we stand for

Our priorities for Poole

Improve public spaces

Support cleaner, better maintained streets and public areas, with investment in additional street furniture and local cleansing.

Support community facilities

Help improve amenities for residents, including youth and community centres.

Events and festivals

Create more reasons for residents and visitors to enjoy Poole, with events that bring life to the town and support local businesses.

Protect heritage at risk

Stand up for buildings, places and traditions that are central to Poole’s identity.

Strengthen the local economy

Promote Poole more effectively and support a town centre that works for residents, visitors and businesses.

Support local initiatives

Back community organisations and local groups doing valuable work across Poole.

Protecting what makes Poole special

Poole is more than a town centre. It is a place with a rich maritime history, a working harbour, valued public spaces and a distinctive local character. We want to see that identity protected and strengthened — not lost to poor decisions, overlooked heritage or development that fails to respect the town around it.

We believe Poole’s future should build on what already makes it special: its history, its waterfront, its local businesses, its open spaces, and the communities that care about it.
