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.

Community Centre Q&A

A big thank you to everyone so far who has completed the online survey about the proposed Community Centre in a dis-used part of the village school.

We’ve had some really positive responses and clearly there are a lot of people who think it’s a facility that our community needs. As part of the survey we asked people to let us know if they had any specific questions, ideas or concerns about the proposal and we’ve now created a Q&A sheet to come back to you with some answers.

This is now available on the Community Centre Proposal page on this website and can be found here – Survey Q&A

You can still complete the short questionnaire if you’ve not already done so.. which can be found here –

Easebourne Community Centre Proposal

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. Please follow this link to access the survey – https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/wQqJ6gutAz

If you have any questions at any stage, please get in touch by emailing parishclerk@easebourne.org
