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.

CCTV success

We’re pleased to report that after our CCTV captured the incident in the Park on the 14th July that resulted in one of our Eco-Loos being closed, the culprits have come forward to own up to causing the damage.

No further action will be taken by the authorities on this occasion. It’s clear that the CCTV system was key in helping to bring this incident to a satisfactory conclusion and we thank those involved for coming forward and taking responsibility for their actions.

Further Vandalism to Eco Loo in Easebourne Park

It’s depressing to report that last night, Friday 21st July, the Eco Loo in the Park was the scene of further vandalism.

Between 7pm and 9.30pm two youths were observed arriving in the Park by bike, one red mountain bike, one black mountain bike, each with black rucksacks. They were seen disappearing around the back of the Eco Loo, where this morning one of the windows was found to have been pushed in and the guttering damaged. They were later observed meeting a small white VW car in the carpark, without their rucksacks, returning to the rear of the Loos and then leaving the park by bike without their rucksacks before returning again, collecting their rucksacks and leaving.
Clear images of all this, including the car were captured by the CCTV and have been submitted to the Police for investigation and potential prosecution.
We have quickly replaced the window so the loo can be opened, as the left hand loo remains closed after the previous damage.
It’s incredibly sad that we have seen a string of vandalism in the Park in recent weeks after so long without this antisocial behaviour. Our CCTV system monitors the Park 24/7 and we will always share evidence of vandalism and suspicious activity with the Police. Antisocial behaviour and vandalism takes up valuable time for the Parish Council and costs money that would be far better spent elsewhere. As well as the cost of repairs, we are now stepping up our contracted security patrols as well as asking the Police to carry out adhoc visits.
If you think you might know who these vandals are or have any information that might help the Police, please contact them directly or share in confidence with us by emailing parishclerk@easebourne.org

Petty crime in Easebourne Park

We’re very sorry to report that there has been a theft from the new Eco Loos in the Park.

After the vandalism to one of the doors last week, which has now been repaired at a cost to the Council, yesterday the hand sanitisers were stolen from both Loos. Whilst stealing hand sanitiser might not seem like a big deal, we have taken the decision to not replace these until such a time as this pointless, petty theft and vandalism comes to an end.
Until then please carry your own hand sanitiser with you when visiting the Park and using the Loos. If you think you might know who these vandals are or have any information, please share in confidence with us by emailing parishclerk@easebourne.org

Vandalism to Eco Loo in Easebourne Park

After the recent vandalism to The Roundhouse in the Park, we’re sorry to report that yesterday there was an incident of vandalism to our new Eco Loos.

At around 4pm yesterday, Friday 14th July a group of 5 youths were caught on CCTV causing serious damaged to one of the toilet doors. Some of them were seen entering the loo and the others attempted to stop them from coming out. The resulting pushing and pulling on the door has buckled the hinges and damaged the frame. As a result the door cannot be closed. It is therefore now out of order until a repair can be made, so as we approach the summer holidays we are down to only 1 available loo.
A Police report has been submitted and the CCTV that captured the 5 youths causing the damage will be shared when requested.
If you think you might know who these vandals are or have any information that might help the Police, please contact them directly or share in confidence with us by emailing parishclerk@easebourne.org
