New affordable homes in Egmont Road, Easebourne Open for applications
The block in Farriers Court will consist of 2 two bedroom and 6 one bedroom apartments and will be available for occupation from early January next year. The Trust will rent the apartments at affordable rents, being 70% of the relevant market rate. They are designed to support working families and individuals from the area and key workers who are essential for health services and the economy. Priority will be given to those with a local connection to Easebourne.

The apartments are being built to a high specification with extensive insulation, carpeted throughout and with a kitchen fully equipped with cooker, fridge, extraction fan and washing machine. Each apartment will have access to a communal bin and bicycle store and will be allocated one car parking space.

The Trust will be inviting applications for tenancies of the apartments in early October on the Tenancies page on our website www.midhurstclt.org Applicants will be asked to complete and send in by the end of October an expression of interest form which will be available on the website.

Vacancy for a Manager Part-time

The task of managing 10 units would be well beyond what can be expected of a volunteer non-executive and as a result MCLT will be appointing a property manager. While there will no doubt be periods of limited activity on the management front, there will be periods when there will be a lot to do, and the manager will have to respond to emergency calls from the tenants. The main tasks of the manager can be seen on the Work with us page on our website www.midhurstclt.org. If you are interested or know anyone who might like to discuss the position, please contact us.

This is a huge increase in our ability to provide affordable homes for the area and builds on the two houses we already have successfully let in Midhurst. We look forward to hearing from all those interested either in becoming a tenant or working with us.

Do you need affordable housing?

Big boost for affordable homes in the Midhurst area

We are pleased to announce that we are in the final stages of purchasing 6 one-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom apartments in Easebourne to make available to local residents.

The Trust will rent the apartments at 70% of the relevant market rate. It is expected that the first apartments will be ready at the end of the year. They are designed to support working families and individuals from the area and are also available to key workers, essential for health services and the economy.

Commenting of the new homes, Adrian Moore, the Trust’s chairman said, “We are really grateful to both Chichester District Council and the South Downs National Park Authority, for their exceptional help, plus the kind support of two local charities, in enabling us to buy these new houses. They will make a difference, in an area of high rents, in providing rented accommodation for those who want to live and work in the Midhurst area.”

The Trust is inviting supporters to become more involved with the Trust and others and those interested in the work of the Trust to become supporters.

£300,000 to help the town recover from the Angel Fire

Chichester District Council has set aside £300,000 to help Midhurst businesses to recover following the fire at the Angel Inn hotel and neighbouring buildings.
The money will be used in a variety of ways to help the town get back on its feet and encourage residents and visitors to support local businesses in Midhurst.
£200,000 of the funding will be used to create a business grant scheme, which is currently being developed, and a further £10,000 has been allocated to provide training support.
£50,000 will be allocated to support promotion by business groups in the town, including funding any future parking incentives. In addition to this, £10,900 has already been handed over to the Town Team for promotional and marketing purposes.
The remaining funding will be used to deliver a large event in the town later in the year, along with funding towards increased marketing and promotion of the town.
A member of the council’s Economic Development team has also been seconded to support businesses in the town for the next two months and the team has set up a business recovery group involving local businesses from the towThe council’s revenue team has also been offering advice to those businesses who pay business rates. The majority of businesses in Midhurst do not pay business rates due to their size and because they receive small business rate relief. However, the council has been in touch with those who do, to make sure that they are aware of all available support to them. Chichester District Council is also continuing to offer free parking in its Midhurst car parks until the end of 16 April 2023 and is urging residents and visitors to show their support for the town.
All of the agencies involved in the recovery process are committed to doing everything they can to get the road reopened to vehicles as soon as possible and helping Midhurst to recover from this dreadful incident. Regular updates are being issued and these can be found at
