ž From April 2019 the three Dorset areas of Bournemouth (pre-1974 in Hampshire), Dorset and Poole form two new areas - with a smaller Dorset unitary authority (from the four districts councils) and the Borough of Christchurch amalgamating with the existing unitary authorities (the Boroughs of Bournemouth and Poole) to form an enlarged unitary authority for the south east of the boroughs of Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole. |
