Can you spare a few moments to help a local student?
The Parish Council was recently approached by a student at Durham University who lives locally. He is studying Geography and looking for some help with his dissertation research on Housing Developments within the South Downs National Park. If you think that you can spare the time to complete his questionnaire, please click here.
PLEASE NOTE THAT EASEBOURNE PARISH COUNCIL HAS HAD NO INPUT INTO THE SURVEY, HAS NO ACCESS TO SURVEY RESPONSES OR ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT YOU MAY PROVIDE, THE COUNCIL IS SIMPLY ASSISTING THE STUDENT TO PUBLICISE HIS SURVEY.
Friends of Easebourne Parish hard at work!
One of the warmest days of the year didn’t stop the Friends of Easebourne Parish (FrEP) volunteers from doing a mass strim of areas in Easebourne Park. They were rewarded with a very welcome coffee and cake and have left the Park looking rather splendid!
If you’d like to get involved in future FrEP volunteering activities in the Park and around the village, please email frepsec@btinternet.comÂ

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!
Greenheal Swift Project Meeting – Thursday 30th May – 7pm – Cowdray Hall
Members of the public are invited to attend a meeting hosted by Greenheal to hear about how they can help the swift population that resides in the Parish.
Tiered seating work – an update
UPDATE 17th May – work continues on the tiered seating and we apologise that it’s taking a little longer than expected, not helped by some poor weather. But things are progressing well and we expect it to be completed by the end of Wednesday 22nd May. The area will remain cordoned off for a week or so afterwards to allow the turf time to settle.
We’re thrilled to confirm that work to create the tiered seating facing The Roundhouse has begun today and is expected to take around 1 week. The area will be fenced off during the work and we apologise for any inconvenience if you are intending to visit the Park during this time.
A local groundworks company will construct 4 tiers either side of a new central set of steps, cut out of the bank and supported by oak sleepers. A low fence will surround the top and outer sides of the tiers.
This project has been a Parish Council plan for a while and now that more and more people use the Park, and following the success of recent events in The Roundhouse, we feel that now is the time to implement the plan.
The cost of this project will be entirely met by recent grant bids won by the Council.

New tiered seating for Easebourne Park
The Parish Council are very excited to announce that work will begin at the end of April to create natural tiered seating within the grass bank facing The Roundhouse in Easebourne Park.
A local groundworks company will construct 4 tiers either side of a new central set of steps, cut out of the bank and supported by oak sleepers. A low fence will surround the top and outer sides of the tiers.
This project has been a Parish Council plan for a while and now that more and more people use the Park, and following the success of recent events in The Roundhouse, we feel that now is the time to implement the plan.
The cost of this project will be entirely met by recent grant bids won by the Council.
