There is a lot of information that can be added about the new Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole Council (BCP Council) but most of it will take a good amount of time to find, I am willing to work on this.
One thing that is in my opinion very important is detailing the existence of the Charter Trusts in the Poole and Bournemouth areas of the Council.
Other things that I can think about being important are the results in the first elections to BCP Council that were held in early May 2019, and the subsequent way Council Committees have been divided up amongst the political parties represented on Council.
I plan to use these as a starter but does anyone else have any other suggestions on things I should add?

I’ve tried to improve this article over the last few days (it was badly unsourced) but have had to place heavy reliance on the Bournemouth Echo, which is quite hit and miss and tends to be just about attractions/shops moving in or out. There’s not much on the internet in the way of WP:RS (it’s awash with tripadvisor type stuff and other WP:SELFPUB). If anyone has access to off-internet book sources that may be relevant please add. What’s missing in particular is information on the economic impact Tower Park must have had over the years. Also, some info on Bill Riddle who first devised the project, might be good. WP:RS only of course. DeCausa ( talk) 11:03, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
I have started a project for missing civil parishes at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes. The missing parishes in Dorset are:
A total of 7, see User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes (1)#Dorset. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 17:44, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for the invitation. But I have no experience of creating parish articles at all, and I know very little about Dorset parishes. Feline Hymnic ( talk) 17:23, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
I may tackle some that are close to me, at a later date but I am busy with other things at the moment.-- Ykraps ( talk) 10:19, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

There is a dispute at the article for Christchurch, Dorset over whether, how, and in how much detail, the article should cover Bournemouth Airport now that the borough of Christchurch has been abolished. The airport is some distance outside the built-up area in a neighbouring parish, but remains a major employer. If you think you can help resolve this, join the discussion at Talk:Christchurch,_Dorset#Bournemouth_airport. Thanks, Joe D (t)
I have a question can we make a wiki for lodmoor sands as they've been there for 3 years now without a Wikipedia Stealsoda ( talk) 21:20, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi - It would be great if someone could take a photo of Bournemouth Crown Court and upload it to wikimedia commons. Many thanks, Dormskirk ( talk) 13:20, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

Any good? I assumed you meant the new ones in Deansleigh Road and not the old ones in Stafford Road. May enquire as to where you're going to use them? -- Ykraps ( talk) 21:01, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
A discussion is ongoing at Template talk:Infobox English county#Proposal: remove the ethnicity section which is likely of interest to this project. The original proposal is for straight removal of the ethnicity field from the template but keeping the population field. A modification to the proposal includes this also but seeks the addition of two optional, undefined statistical fields within the non-metropolitan and unitary authority sections of the county infoboxes — at present there are no demographic statistical fields, other than population under these headings.
