About

East Southbourne & Tuckton is a residential area situated on the eastern side of the Bournemouth conurbation, directly bordering Christchurch.

Its built environment is primarily characterised by suburban housing, ranging from Victorian and Edwardian properties to more modern developments, alongside local shopping parades catering to daily needs.

The shore of Christchurch Harbour forms part of the ward, providing access to mudflats and walking paths.
