Easebourne PC Easebourne Park We’re delighted to confirm that Easebourne Park was winner of the People’s Choice Award at the South Downs National Park Design awards in November. This is wonderful recognition of a much loved public space and we’d like to thank everyone who voted for it. Next proposed big development for the Park is the construction of a community multiuse covered shelter that we are planning for the first half of 2020, thanks to funding from the Community Lottery Fund and Chichester District Council and materials for the chestnut wood structure donated by Cowdray Estate. The Parish Council has received £80,000 from the local authority’s Community Investment Levy (CIL), a charge that is set on new developments to allow investment in local infrastructure, facilities and services. The funding will allow us to continue to develop the Park, adding facilities and enhancing the environment. easebourne.org
