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

Christmas Waste Collections

It’s that time of year again! 🎄🎁📦

Chichester District Council have announced their revised waste collection days as below. Any extra waste from the holiday period will be picked up by collection crews on the first collection after Christmas. If residents have any extra recycling, they need to ensure that it is kept dry in a loosely tied black sack and placed next to their recycling bin on the day of collection.

There will also be changes to clinical waste collections, with affected residents to be contacted directly.

Don’t forget you can get reminders of which bin needs to go out on which day if you download the Chichester District Council app.
