Friends of Easebourne Parish have been very busy planting 11 Jubilee trees in Carbon Corner in Eastbourne Park. The trees form part of the community orchard and include varieties of apples, a quince, two pears and a cherry.
Thank you Sara Davies, Phil Stringer, Frank Davies, Ian Milne (who took the picture!) and Jon Clarke.
The group will shortly be planting daffodils and crocus in the Park all ready for Spring 2023.
We understand from the Midhurst Vision Team that the feedback so far has been very positive but the more people who complete the very short survey the better – it is literally only 3 questions. The number of respondents may influence if/how much funding is available to make some of these proposals a reality.
• Please fill in the survey yourself if you haven’t already – it only takes 5 minutes
• Please email your friends and colleagues who live/work in or Midhurst or Easebourne or just visit Midhurst to do it too
• If you use social media please like/share posts from @midhurstvision or post the direct link to the online survey https://hooli-ltd.surveysparrow.com/s/midhurst-vision-consultation-oct-2022/tt-7456ad5b67
• If your own organisation/company has a website or database please share this request or email it to your staff
Easebourne Parish Council has invited Lawrence Trowbridge of Wildwood UK back to our award-winning Park to inspect the dens and trails he created five years ago to back up the clean bill of health given to Easebourne Park by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) annual inspection in the summer.
The Dens and Trails wooden structures in Easebourne Park will be closed on Wednesday 12th October 2022 for essential maintenance. All other park play equipment will be open as usual. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
We are aware that a bolt is missing from the small swings and have ordered a repair to be carried out as soon as possible.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
Essential resurfacing will soon be carried out on the A286 Dodsley Lane in Easebourne, between Hollist Lane and the A272 Easebourne Lane.
The current surface is showing signs of significant weakening: the new one will be smoother, which will reduce road noise, and will be more resilient to potholes.
Subject to unforeseen factors, such as severe weather, work will take place between 20 September and 27 September and hours of work will generally be between 8pm and 6am.
Dodsley Lane will be closed to through traffic and vehicles diverted via a signed route. Access to properties will be maintained, whenever possible, although there could be delays for operational and/or safety reasons.
A West Sussex County Council spokesperson said: “We don’t decide to carry out night-time resurfacing lightly. We have considered the wider disruption to communities and road users that would be caused through daytime work on these roads.
“Improvement projects of this nature do cause disruption for both residents and businesses, for which we apologise, but will lead to long-term benefits. Every effort will be made to try to minimise the inconvenience: for example, our contractor will try its best to carry out the noisiest operations in the earliest part of the evening and before 11pm.”
