Brief
Our aim is to communicate with all residents within Easebourne parish and to be as transparent as possible. Our primary communication method is still our public Parish Council meetings held every other month and our Annual Parish meeting.
Given the significant number of changes taking place within the Parish we rely heavily on this website to assist in providing you with updates from our meetings and projects. News stories and updates will also be shared through our Facebook page. Please do follow us on Facebook and share updates with your friends and family to help keep Easebourne Parish updated.
We will continue to utilise our notice boards around Easebourne and Henley village for significant updates, updates in the United parish magazine, along with door drops when necessary to reach out to everyone in the Parish.
If you would like to ask your Parish Council anything please feel free to attend one of our meetings, or contact the Parish Clerk via email, post or phone. Details can be found on our Contact Us page. Please bear in mind that our Clerk works 13 hours a week and so there maybe a delay in receiving a reply.

Midhurst Green Volunteers come to Easebourne!
The Midhurst Green Volunteers are a small group of volunteers who help keep excess vegetation at bay around the town. The team work independently of, but in cooperation with, the Midhurst Town Council and Chichester District Council to improve access for people.
The team has lots of equipment to help with weeding, mowing and cutting tasks, thanks to the contribution of local sponsors.
The Parish Council is delighted that the green volunteers have agreed to extend their services to Easebourne BUT we need volunteers to help with the tasks in both Easebourne and Midhurst – things such as keeping High Path clear of brambles and spreading hedgerows, keeping verges trimmed, cleaning bus shelters etc.
The first confirmed date is Saturday 7th December at 8.30am. If anyone can lend a hand for a couple of hours either then or at a future date please contact the Parish Council at parishclerk@easebourne.org. You can find out more about the green volunteers by visiting their website www.midhurstgreenvolunteers.org.uk
Please VOTE for Easebourne Park!
As we may have already mentioned (!), Easebourne Park has been shortlisted for a South Downs National Park Design Award which we are absolutely thrilled about! Voting is so easy and takes seconds so we’d really appreciate it if you could following this link, vote and share around every single person you know!
Having an award winning Park and Community Space in our small Parish would be amazing and could really help us to attract more funding for future projects.
Here’s the link – https://www.southdowns.gov.uk/planning/south-downs-national-park-design-award/peoples-choice-2019/
Thank you !
Roundabout repair
Many thanks to those of you who have reported some slight damage to the matting around the roundabout. This is being addressed by Playsafe, the original installer and work is expected to take place this Friday, 4th October.
Just a reminder.. please VOTE for Easebourne Park in the South Downs Design Awards!
Picnic in the Park – Saturday 31st August!
Don’t forget, it’s our Picnic in the Park this coming Saturday, 31st August! The weather is looking lovely so pack your picnic and join the whole village for a chilled afternoon of live music and fun in the Park! We’ll be joined by The White Horse Bar, Dylans Ice-cream and the Cowdray Tuk-tuk, plus the Parish Council will be giving out free home made cakes and cold drinks! We’ll hopefully also be joined by the Midhurst Fire Service! So please join us from 1pm to 5pm this Saturday!
Easebourne Parish Design Statement
Designs on Easebourne Parish
The residents of Easebourne Parish have the opportunity to help influence any future local building development by sharing their views over the next few weeks through the completion of a short survey. If you are a resident of Easebourne Parish you can complete the survey online via link below or you can download it. You have until the 1st September to submit your thoughts.
https://www.surveymonkey.de/r/TDQNSN9
Download it here How Do You Feel About Easebourne (1)
The feedback will be used to help create a vision for the Parish and the development of a Parish Design Statement. The work is being done in response to The South Downs National Park Authority’s request for all communities within the Park to contribute to the area’s planning processes. Others Parishes to have already published their Parish Design Statement include Fernhurst.
The aim is to help influence any development in the Parish so that it is in harmony with the surrounding area and reinforces local character.
A small group of Easebourne Parish residents have taken on the challenge to pull the statement together, but need to get as many views as possible from people in Easebourne, Henley and the King Edward VII development to ensure it reflects what residents want to see.
Homes and businesses in the Parish can expect to receive questionnaires during late July and will have until the end of August to respond. The questionnaire can also be completed online and found on the Easebourne parish website. Once the people of the Parish have identified the things that matter to them then small teams will be dispatched to describe the characteristics of those things.
If you would like to volunteer to support this project or have any questions please feel free to contact the team at:Parishdesign@easebourne.org
