‘Let’s Talk: Housing’ — Have your say on new Housing, Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy for the Chichester District

Chichester District Council is asking for people’s views on the aims and actions proposed for its new Housing, Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Strategy, as part of a public consultation that will run until Monday 3 March.

The new strategy, which covers the period 2025 to 2030, looks at how the council will work with partners to prevent people from becoming homeless; create and retain affordable housing for young people and families; address the housing needs of older people; and improve housing standards for all of its residents.

To have your say, take part in the quick online survey at: https://letstalk.chichester.gov.uk/housing/participate. For more information, including a range of frequently asked questions and to view the draft strategy, visit: https://letstalk.chichester.gov.uk/housing.

North Mill Bridge – update 21st January

We have received the following update from the WSCC Highways Team dealing with the incident. As a Parish Council we will continue to closely monitor the situation and do all we can to reduce the potential timeframes detailed below.

  • Concrete barriers have been placed alongside the road,
  • 4 way temporary traffic lights have been placed to allow the road to be partially re opened – these lights are manually controlled at peak hours so traffic flow can be accounted for,
  • A Stonemason has attended site and scoped the works required,
  • Orders have been placed for the additional stone necessary to undertake the repairs,
  • Works have been programmed for next week to salvage the stone that can be potentially re-used,
  • A review of parking near the BP garage which is having an impact on the queuing traffic.

Unfortunately these repair works cannot all be delivered immediately as the lead in time for the additional new stone is up to 8 weeks, and the works themselves will take up to 4 weeks.  This means the road will remain under temporary lights for a number of weeks and we will monitor the impact on the wider network.  If we believe further restrictions on the surrounding network are required we will put these in place and I will provide updates via these emails.

The next update will be sent on Monday 27 January

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via Parishclerk@easebourne.org

North Mill Bridge update – 20/1/25

Throughout the day the Parish Council have been in touch with key personnel within District and County Councils, to ensure we are kept up to date with discussions taking place and plans being formulated following the serious damage to North Mill Bridge in the early hours of Sunday.

We have also written to the leaders of WSCC, CDC, relevant Cabinet Members, Councillors and our MP Andrew Griffith, expressing our concern over the impact any length of closure or restricted access will have on our Parishioners and businesses in Midhurst, requesting that the matter is treated as a top priority.

As you may know, 4 way lights are now operational with a temporary concrete barrier in place, to enable a single lane to re-open.

We understand that it will close again later this evening for just a couple of hours to carry out some additional safety works.

Structural engineers and the WSCC Highways engineers are now assessing the required actions to enable a permanent solution and as soon as we learn more about what that will look like and the next steps, we will post further updates. We will remain in daily communication with the relevant teams involved.

If you have any questions you would like us to raise on your behalf please email parishclerk@easebourne.org

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.
