Plans are underway to achieve Coach Friendly Status for the Saxon town of Christchurch. The first steps saw the return of coach parking with the installation of three coach spaces at Two Riversmeet Leisure Centre last year. The aim is to align Christchurch with the accredited status, already achieved in neighbouring Bournemouth and Poole.

A preliminary audit of the town by CPT took place in the summer and works will now begin to implement further improvements.
