Pensioners in the Chichester District Urged to Apply for Pension Credit

Could you or someone that you know be missing out on Pension Credit? Pensioners in the Chichester District Area are being urged to apply for Pension Credit to boost income.

Chichester District Council is concerned that those eligible for the state pension (www.gov.uk/state-pension-age), could be missing out on payments, which could give them cash and provide access to the Winter Fuel Payment.

They are especially keen to raise awareness following a government announcement that only those receiving Pension Credit, or other means tested benefits, will now be eligible for the Winter Fuel Payment.

The deadline to apply for Pension Credit and still receive the Winter Fuel Payment is 21 December 2024.

Friends of Easebourne Parish hard at work!

One of the warmest days of the year didn’t stop the Friends of Easebourne Parish (FrEP) volunteers from doing a mass strim of areas in Easebourne Park. They were rewarded with a very welcome coffee and cake and have left the Park looking rather splendid!

If you’d like to get involved in future FrEP volunteering activities in the Park and around the village, please email frepsec@btinternet.com

Tiered Seating in the Park complete

As many may already have seen, the construction of tiered seating facing The Roundhouse in Easebourne Park has now been completed and is available for use!

We hope you like the end result – offering a large amount of extra seating within the Park and commanding a great view too! It will be a great addition for the Fete in the Park on the 7th  July where we have live music in The Roundhouse and for any future performances.

If you have any suggestions for future activities in The Roundhouse please get in touch with Parishclerk@easebourne.org

Big thank you to local company ACS Limited for completing the project and doing such a fantastic job!

Tiered seating work – an update

UPDATE 17th May – work continues on the tiered seating and we apologise that it’s taking a little longer than expected, not helped by some poor weather. But things are progressing well and we expect it to be completed by the end of Wednesday 22nd May. The area will remain cordoned off for a week or so afterwards to allow the turf time to settle.
We’re thrilled to confirm that work to create the tiered seating facing The Roundhouse has begun today and is expected to take around 1 week. The area will be fenced off during the work and we apologise for any inconvenience if you are intending to visit the Park during this time.
A local groundworks company will construct 4 tiers either side of a new central set of steps, cut out of the bank and supported by oak sleepers. A low fence will surround the top and outer sides of the tiers.
This project has been a Parish Council plan for a while and now that more and more people use the Park, and following the success of recent events in The Roundhouse, we feel that now is the time to implement the plan.
The cost of this project will be entirely met by recent grant bids won by the Council.
