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

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.

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
