The Community Assembly of Bournemouth is located in a coastal resort town in the area of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole in Dorset, which is part of the Territory of Kernow on the South Coast of England.
Previously an uninhabited heathland, visited only by fishermen and occasional smugglers, a health resort was founded in the area by Lewis Tregonwell in 1810. After the Ringwood, Christchurch and Bournemouth Railway opened in 1870, Bournemouth grew into an important resort town, which today attracts over five million visitors annually.
The word bourne, meaning a small stream, is a derivative of burna, old English for a brook. From the latter half of the 16th century ‘Bourne Mouth’ seems to be preferred, being recorded as such in surveys and reports of the period, but this appears to have been shortened to ‘Bourne’ after the area had started to develop.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
