The Parish Council has been informed that a public consultation is underway for the installation of six electric vehicle charging points on Cowdray Road. Should you wish to express your views on this matter, positive or negative, please follow the link below and complete the form.
Vandals have once again targeted Easebourne Park, this time breaking a general waste bin from it’s fixings and causing it to tilt. It is a real shame that there are people within our community who think it is acceptable to damage property and who clearly do not realise that this takes public money and resources to resolve. If you are ever in the Park and spot anyone damaging property or mis-using equipment please do let us know so that we can check our CCTV and try to find the individuals responsible.
Please note that the car park will be closed on Friday morning (25th October) to allow the school to carry out urgent works at that end of the building. This was the most convenient time as the school is closed to students for an inset day. It is hoped that the works should be complete by midday.
Could you or someone that you know be missing out on Pension Credit? Pensioners in the Chichester District Area are being urged to apply for Pension Credit to boost income.
Chichester District Council is concerned that those eligible for the state pension (www.gov.uk/state-pension-age), could be missing out on payments, which could give them cash and provide access to the Winter Fuel Payment.
They are especially keen to raise awareness following a government announcement that only those receiving Pension Credit, or other means tested benefits, will now be eligible for the Winter Fuel Payment.
The deadline to apply for Pension Credit and still receive the Winter Fuel Payment is 21 December 2024.
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.
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.com
A date for your diary in July!

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.

Big thank you to local company ACS Limited for completing the project and doing such a fantastic job!
