Easebourne Parish Council aspire to create a 3500sqft Community Centre at the heart of the Village, by refurbishing a section of the Primary School that faces Easebourne Park. This part of the school has remained un-used for over 10 years and West Sussex County Council have no plans for it to return to use as part of the School.
The proposal would create a series of flexible spaces available to the community for a wide variety of uses, including social events, wellbeing activities, a space for local clubs and societies to meet, exhibition spaces, business & meeting rooms, a permanent home for the Council, a coffee shop and outdoor spaces. We fully expect this list to grow!
The project is a significant investment for the Parish Council, but we expect it will be entirely funded through grants and not the contribution the Parish Council receive as part of your Council Tax. Our aspiration is to have the facility up and running during Summer 2026.
We’ve now added a new page to this website where we will bring you the latest news and information about this exciting project. Over the coming months this page will be used to share updates and information so you can learn more about what the Centre could look like, the facilities we hope it will include, what it could be used for and our thoughts about timings.
We’ll also post on here important updates for when and where you will be able to view the plans and talk to Councillors, but in the meantime we would appreciate it if you could take a few moments to complete our survey to let us know your thoughts on the concept.
