Christmas arrives at Easebourne Park, with successful carol concert

Christmas arrived early at Easebourne Park this weekend, with a packed out Carols in the Park event.

The Parish Council once again teamed up with Easebourne Primary School PTA to bring another successful collaborative event to our Parish. With performances from Petworth Choir and children from the School, the atmosphere under the lights was beautiful (and dry, which was a Christmas miracle given the soaking we have had over the past few weeks!). Some of the children visited “Farmer Christmas” in his tractor and trailer grotto and everyone enjoyed mince pies, hot chocolate and mulled wine. There was even a Christmas Pony on hand to greet the children while they queued for the grotto. We finished off the afternoon with some real belters that everyone could join in with and an exciting raffle.

Thanks must go out to all of the volunteers who made the event possible, the Choir, all of the sponsors and everyone who turned out to support this pilot event. All proceeds will go to the PTA, to put towards their projects within the Primary School this academic year.

Roundhouse vandalism

Since the vandalism to The Roundhouse in Easebourne Park 2 weeks ago, we have been continuing to assess the damage and follow up with the Police after sharing the CCTV footage captured of those responsible.

We’re sorry to say that the damage to the structure is worse than originally thought and although can be repaired, it will take longer and cost significantly more than we originally estimated. We are currently waiting on a date when the work could start. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this will cause to those who frequently use and love the Park, especially during what will shortly be school half term.

In the meantime the CCTV footage is being examined in more detail. We do know that the vandalism took place around the middle of the day on Saturday 4th October, when 6 individuals were clearly captured in the Roundhouse. If anyone has any information about who was responsible or hears of anything about this pointless act of vandalism, please contact the Parish Council.

Sadly incidents like this can only result in less funds being available for other facilities and maintenance in the village.

Roundhouse vandalism

We are extremely saddened to report that The Roundhouse in Easebourne Park suffered considerable damage over the weekend at the hands of vandals.

A number of spindles were kicked out, used to damage the roof and a section of the internal floor has been seriously damaged.

Having assessed the damage in full this morning we’re sorry to say that the whole structure will need to be fenced off for lengthy and costly repairs. The Roundhouse will be fenced off tomorrow, Tuesday 7th October, so please be aware of work taking place in the Park during that day.

We are awaiting timings from our contractors as to when the work can take place and how long it will take. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this will cause to those who frequently use and love the Park.

In the meantime the CCTV footage is being examined and the incident is being reported to the Police. If anyone has any information about who was responsible or hears of anything about this pointless act of vandalism, please contact the Parish Council.

Sadly incidents like this can only result in less funds being available for other facilities and maintenance in the village.

Park behaviour

On the evening of Monday 7th April a group of youngsters entered the Park from the direction of Birthday House, enjoyed a pizza and several boxes of beer in The Roundhouse and kindly left all their rubbish. The CCTV has been useful to identify the details of the incident and the 4 involved.
We know that the Park is there for all to enjoy, we do also provide 4 rubbish bins that are emptied regularly and are placed around the park so you never have to walk far to reach one.
Volunteers have kindly now collected their rubbish and have disposed of it. We will be asking our regular security patrols to keep a close eye on the area. If you have any information about this and would like to share confidentially with the Parish Council, please email parishclerk@easebourne.org
