About

East Cliff & Springbourne is a primarily residential ward positioned directly east of Bournemouth town centre. The area is defined by its proximity to the coast, with East Cliff Gardens providing green space along the headland overlooking the sea. Inland, the neighbourhoods consist largely of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some modern apartment developments. The main commercial activity is concentrated along Springbourne's Christchurch Road, which serves the local community with essential shops and services.

The ward contains the Bournemouth International Centre, a major conference and events venue situated on the cliff top. Residential streets are generally quiet, with a mix of private housing and rented accommodation serving a varied population. A notable local feature is the Royal Exeter Hotel, a historic building that has been converted into private flats, reflecting the area's architectural heritage. The topography slopes gently from the cliff edge down towards the River Stour, which forms part of the ward's eastern boundary.
