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
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 theft with the Police.

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

Vandalism in Easebourne Park

We are extremely sad to see that the Roundhouse has suffered a fresh round of vandalism in the last few weeks, the most recent being yesterday. Each time the damage has occurred to the inside of the roof structure, by the use of a ball, stick or bat being hit hard again the wooden planks to dislodge and damage them. This is a costly and tricky thing to repair, funds that ultimately could be far better used elsewhere.
The latest incident was yesterday, Wednesday 5th July at approximately 17.50 when 3 young males were caught by the CCTV cycling inside the Roundhouse and then aggressively kicking a ball at the roof, resulting in the damage shown on the picture above.
They were also then recorded acting very suspiciously in and around the new Eco Toilets, although no damage has been discovered.
This incident has been reported to the Police and we will supply the CCTV footage as evidence.
If you have any information that might help the Police please contact them directly or share in confidence with us by emailing parishclerk@easebourne.org
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen this sort of behaviour in the Park and we’re very much hoping this is an isolated incident, but we will progress this and any subsequent incidents with the authorities and we continue to review CCTV images on a daily basis.

Park equipment replacements

You may have noticed that some work was taking place in the Park today, replacing the toddler swings, replacing the trampolines and some of the safety matting on other equipment. Thank you for your patience if something has not been available during your visit. There are a few more pieces of work to complete but things should all be fully operational very soon!

Coffee in the Park

Sadly it looks like Tom and The Goatbox will not be joining us in the Park over the summer. Although feedback to him and us was fantastic and people seemed to love him being there, there just wasn’t a sufficient level of business to make it viable for him to continue.

We’re hoping to convince him to come back for specific weekends, maybe Bank Holidays, but we’re also looking at other options.
