New Year, New Challenge?

Are you looking for a new challenge for the New Year?

If you’ve lived in our Parish for more than 12 months, have a keen interest in what happens within our community, have some spare time and want to get involved, then we could be looking for you!

The Parish Council currently have 3 vacancies for volunteer Councillors. As a Council we are responsible for a number of things within the Parish, including the development and maintenance of Easebourne Park. We are consulted on all planning applications within the village and manage the Parish precept, collected as part of your Council Tax.

We meet as a full council every other month, with other Committees such as Finance and Planning meeting monthly. We are a diverse group of individuals who all care about what happens in the Parish and what we can do to enhance it. Rest assured, it’s not at all like a meeting on The Vicar of Dibley!

If you’re interested to learn more about what’s involved and how you could help, please get in touch with Emma, our Parish Clerk in the first instance. Contact details are on the Contact page on this website.

Eco Loo update to opening

Easebourne Park Loos opening times
Further to the post earlier this week, the Parish Council have now reviewed the additional budget required to keep one of the loos open over the autumn/winter months. It has been agreed to trial keeping one loo open 7 days a week, during the hours of daylight. This will happen until at least the end of this year and perhaps beyond.
If we are to maintain at least 1 loo open 365 days a year we will need to find an additional £2000 over and above what we had previously budgeted. This potentially means as we review our precept requirements for 2024 we would have to increase the overall contribution required from future Council tax revenues.

Eco Loo opening times

Easebourne Park Loos opening times
Following some community feedback, the Parish Council are reviewing the seasonal closing of the park loos. Presently it is scheduled that both loos will close on 30 October. It’s possible that one loo can remain open for longer, but that does have financial implications outside of the current budget. This is currently being reviewed and we will revert with any revised decisions/dates shortly.

Preliminary works at Egmont Road

We have been advised by Metis Homes that some preliminary tree protection works at the approved Egmont Road site are beginning. In addition some archaeological trenching is being dug w/c 9th October and then, all being well, the initial road access works down the side of the Conifers’ car park during the school half term from 23rd October. The aim is to get that work done during half term to maximise health and safety.

If you have any questions please contact parishclerk@easebourne.org

Mass bulb planting

The Midhurst Green Volunteers have co-ordinated a project to buy and plant over 4000 bulbs in and around Easebourne and Midhurst in the next few weeks – which come spring will brighten up our verges, banks and numerous areas around our communities.

But to do this we need your help!

The planting sessions are on the 7th October and then again on the 14th October. There will be 2 teams, covering Easebourne and Midhurst on both of those dates.

Please check your diaries and come along for an hour if you can. The team will be meeting at 8am on both dates, at the corner of Hollist Lane and Canada Grove.. and at St Annes Hill.

How safe do you feel in your community?

Community Safety Partnerships across West Sussex are asking residents how safe they feel in their local communities.

The online consultation, which launched on Monday 18 September, will be open to people of all ages to share their experiences of crime and anti-social behaviour in their local areas and will take around 10 minutes to complete.

The responses will allow the partnerships to further improve their understanding of the local communities and see whether their current priorities reflect the experiences of the residents living there.

Information from the consultation will be shared with the Safer West Sussex Partnership, which brings together the six district and borough Community Safety Partnerships, along with Sussex Police, the Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner, West Sussex Fire and Rescue, West Sussex County Council and other key agencies.

Mark Andrews, Chair of the Safer West Sussex Partnership, said: “The Community Safety consultation is an excellent opportunity for all residents of West Sussex to have their say on crime and anti-social behaviour in their local neighbourhood.

“It is a really important subject that affects everyone, and many people will have experienced or witnessed different issues in their surroundings, which they may or may not have reported.

“We hope that this consultation will give people the opportunity to have their say anonymously and help make their neighbourhood a safer place to live.”

Anyone without access to the internet, or who may struggle with filling in online forms, is encouraged to visit a West Sussex library, where free Wi-Fi and computers with internet access are available.

Library members may use the computers for free, for a maximum of two hours per day and if you are not a member, you can join on arrival at no cost.

Libraries also have Digital Volunteers available who offer free help in libraries and can support residents to complete the consultation. To arrange this, please contact the Library Digital Support team on 0330 222 3455 or library.digital.support@westsussex.gov.uk.

For those that would prefer a paper copy, this can be requested by calling 01243 777100 or emailing  communitysafety.wellbeing@westsussex.gov.uk. Paper copies will be supplied with a return free post envelope.

For your chance to have your say, visit yourvoice.westsussex.gov.uk/community-safety, or your local West Sussex County Council library.
