Bournemouth Council is set to invest in a prestigious hotel and conference venue on a site next to the Bournemouth International Centre. Under the plans, the council would borrow from the Public Works Loan Board to invest in the construction of the facility, which would be run by a leading hotel operator. The council said it “would receive net income which would more than cover the estimated cost per year required to pay back the borrowing over the loan period”.
