This Week in Pokesdown

Hello Pokesdown! What a week it's been, buzzing with good news and vibrant happenings right here in our wonderful community. First off, let's talk about our beloved Pokesdown Station! It’s been a long time coming, but we’re absolutely thrilled to announce that after years of campaigning and setbacks, our station is finally set to receive a significant upgrade. Thanks to a fantastic £2.6 million government investment, secured with a helping hand from our local MP, we'll be seeing vital accessibility improvements, including much-needed lifts! This is a huge win for all our rail users, making journeys smoother and more accessible for everyone. But the good news doesn't stop there! This substantial investment is part of a wider plan that will see millions spent in both West Howe and Pokesdown, promising exciting changes and improvements right on our doorstep. It’s wonderful to see our area being recognised and invested in. And for those looking to shake off the week and connect with others, don't forget about Ecstatic Dance Wednesdays! It’s the perfect mid-week pick-me-up, offering a chance to let loose, move to the music, and enjoy some fantastic company at St James Church Hall. It’s a truly exciting time for Pokesdown, with improvements on the horizon and community spirit thriving. Let's keep this positive momentum going!
