Ever wanted to get into Advertising?
As you may already know, our village magazine has a new Editor and Designer, but they are in need of someone to manage the advertising. We’re told this is not an onerous task. It involves contacting the regular advertisers each year to renew their adverts and handle any new ones that might come in with each issue.
At most, it’s a couple of hours work in an eight-week cycle.
If anyone can help please could you email: easebourneeditor@btinternet.com
Parish Design Statement officially adopted by SDNPA
We are very pleased to be able to confirm that on 9 February 2023 the South Downs National Park Authority adopted the Easebourne Parish Design Statement as a Supplementary Planning Document (SDP).
This document sets out a framework of guidelines and principals relating to design matters against which future planning applications will be assessed. The Parish Council would like to thank the volunteers who worked so hard on this project over the last 3 years: without their persistence and determined endeavours, nothing would have been achieved.
You can download the adopted document here:

West Sussex County Council – Bus Service Consultation
Enhanced Partnership Statutory Stakeholder Consultation
Dear Stakeholder,
In March 2021, the government published a new National Bus Strategy (Bus Back Better) which sets out its vision to dramatically improve bus services in England, reverse the shift in journeys away from public transport as a result of Covid-19 and encourage passengers back to buses.
Central to the strategy is the creation of Enhanced Partnerships, where local authorities, bus operators and other key stakeholders work together to develop and implement bus service improvements for local communities. The West Sussex Enhanced Partnership will set out how we will deliver the outcomes of our Bus Service Improvement Plan, published in October 2021 following engagement with the public, operators, and other key stakeholders.
Further to this engagement, we would now like to hear from organisations and individual stakeholders who have an interest in making bus services work better.
You can access the consultation questionnaire and supporting documents via the link below.
