Environmental Services

62% are feel that Poole is kept clear of litter and waste. This is in line with the national average of 60%. Environmental and Consumer Protection Services are clamping down on environmental crime such as littering, dog fouling, abandoned cars and fly tipping to ensure that residents can have 'Pride in Poole'.Cultural and Recreational Services
We understand that satisfaction with parks and open spaces (89%) is one of the highest levels in the country.Libraries (73%), Theatres and Concert Halls - Lighthouse (66%) and Museums (52%) are also performing well above the national average.
Public Transport
The survey results show that satisfaction with public transport
is improving. It is in line with national satisfaction.Since the survey, the Council has launched the new Route One
bus service, linking the town centre with the Hospital, Railway Station, Old Town and Quay and all the main town centre car parks. Paying 50p, residents can hop on and off all day.The discussion groups highlighted that public transport is a concern for younger residents who are more likely to be on limited incomes and less likely to own a car. The Council will work with Wilts and Dorset to review the available routes and services.
