Westbourne Community Trust is a non-profit organisation run by volunteers that can look after buildings and community facilities for the benefit of local people. It has been set up and is run by ordinary residents, and its main focus is to build and manage new homes for local people to rent. The Trust also hopes to work on other projects to benefit the local community.
Westbourne Parish Council is currently working closely with the Trust to deliver 12 much needed affordable homes for the Parish, which will be built on land to the rear of 32 to 56 Mill Road in Westbourne. The project includes the transformation of the recreation ground area and will see a large-scale investment into new playground facilities for the benefit of local children and families.

Mill Road recreation ground closure
The recreation ground and play area will remain open during the summer until the Trust's work to build the affordable homes starts, which is expected to be in September 2024. Once the project is underway, the play equipment from the construction site area will be removed along with the skate park. The games court will remain open as well as access to the recreation ground to allow residents to continue to enjoy these facilities until such time as the work on the park improvements begins which is expected to be early 2025.
