Boscombe East & Pokesdown is an electoral ward on the eastern edge of Bournemouth, within the unitary authority of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole in England. It straddles the coastal suburb of Boscombe and the neighbouring Victorian neighbourhood of Pokesdown, giving the area a mix of seafront character around Boscombe Pier and rows of older terraces and small green pockets inland.
The ward combines a seaside leisure economy - cafés, guesthouses and hospitality businesses - with pockets of independent retail and a creative, community-led vibe in Pokesdown. Historically shaped by Victorian railway-driven expansion, it is socially diverse and has been the focus of ongoing regeneration efforts, with local groups and council schemes trying to balance investment, affordable homes and the area’s distinctive local culture.
