Green Volunteers do it again…

Did you spot the Midhurst Green Volunteers this weekend? 

Even if you didn’t see them in action, if you walk along High Path you can’t fail to notice what a difference a day makes! The Green Volunteers did an amazing job cutting back over a tonne of green waste all along High Path, from Dodsley Grove to the turning into Riverbank Surgery.

All this with only a handful of volunteers and it took them over 4 hours start to finish.

The team are back in Easebourne for the next 2 Saturdays, the 17th meeting at the corner of Wheelbarrow Castle and Dodsley Lane, and on the 24th meeting at the bottom of Hollist Lane to tackle the upper section of High Path. We could really do with some extra hands so if you can spare an hour or two on a Saturday morning please go along with a pair of gloves at the ready! They start from around 8am but if you’re not an early bird don’t worry, you can still join in a little later!

Oh what a Fete that was!

What an amazing day we had in Easebourne Park last weekend for the combined PTA and Parish Council Fete in the Park! After a slightly damp start the sun shone, the people came out and much fun was had!

Live music from the B3’s and local super talented Ellie Baker, lots of raffles, tombola’s, BBQ, bar, Pimms, cakes and ice-cream. Children could go for a donkey ride, a go-cart race or a scooter experience! Fun races, a dog show and dance classes all took place in the Events corner.

A big BIG thank you to the PTA for all their hard work in pulling together the packed day, including the team of volunteers who showed up at 7.30am and stayed all day, the FrEP teams who set up, cleared up and litter picked and to everyone of course who visited and helped raise a huge amount of extra money for the School.

Same time next year we hope!!

Tiered Seating in the Park complete

As many may already have seen, the construction of tiered seating facing The Roundhouse in Easebourne Park has now been completed and is available for use!

We hope you like the end result – offering a large amount of extra seating within the Park and commanding a great view too! It will be a great addition for the Fete in the Park on the 7th  July where we have live music in The Roundhouse and for any future performances.

If you have any suggestions for future activities in The Roundhouse please get in touch with Parishclerk@easebourne.org

Big thank you to local company ACS Limited for completing the project and doing such a fantastic job!

Donations for Easebourne Park

Did you know you can now very easily make a small donation for the maintenance and future development of our award-winning village Park?

We know how much Easebourne Park is loved and enjoyed by people, with it’s open space, play equipment, stunning Roundhouse and now it’s award-winning eco loos. But what you might not appreciate is how much the Park now costs to keep it looking it’s best.

We budget for essential costs and collect our annual precept from Chichester District Council, but any extra funds that we can raise will mean we can do even more things and create an even better environment for our residents.

If you enjoy visiting the Park and feel like making a small extra donation for its upkeep, you can do so online or by scanning the QR code that will soon be appearing at the entrances to the Park.

You can make a donation here

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.
