Do you remember life without the leisure park, Pembroke Park and K2 Crawley? Over the past 15 years Crawley has grown and developed to meet the needs of the people who live, work and visit the town. It’s now time to move forward and think about the needs, wants and aspirations of the town for the next 15 years. Crawley 2029 is the name of the town’s new local plan, which will shape future development from 2014-2029. To make the plan worthwhile it needs to reflect what people think. The homes we live in, the places where we work, the open spaces where we relax and the roads we travel on are all a result of planning decisions that have been made. This is why it’s important that Crawley residents, groups and organisations are able to help plan the future of their town. Crawley Borough Council is now asking people to let us know what they feel are the most important issues for Crawley that will need to be planned for over the next 15 years. The council will be holding exhibitions and events where people can have their say – and enter a prize draw too. Discussion will focus on six themes: • Crawley 2029: Your vision • How the growth of the town will need to be supported • Planning for our housing needs • Our green open space • Growing our economy • Your neighbourhood. Councillor Claire Denman, Cabinet member for Planning and Economic Development, said: “It’s really important that anyone who is interested in the future of Crawley gets involved in this consultation. “This stage of Crawley 2029 is all about finding out what you want to see the town look like. 15 We’ll be asking questions at events, online and in our publications to get your feedback. “I know that 2029 seems a long way away. But think how much Crawley has changed in the past 15 years. This is your chance to shape the future of your town.” You can put across your views by visiting one of the Crawley 2029 consultation events below or filling in an eform on the council’s website at www.crawley.gov.uk/crawley2029 By giving us your views you can also be entered into a prize draw to win one of two £50 vouchers.

It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. Air Quality in Crawley Borough Council Crawley is located in the north of the County of West Sussex, with Gatwick airport lying along its northern boundary with Surrey, and the borough of Reigate & Banstead and the M23 along its eastern border. As part of the Local Air Quality Management process (LAQM) required by the Environment Act 1995, the council carries out an annual review and assessment of air quality in the borough, which helps us to identify local air quality hot spots, and relate these to pollution sources.

  • Electoral Review of Crawley Borough Council
    Electoral Review of Crawley Borough Council Pattern of Wards April 2018 INTRODUCTION The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) are conducting a review of the electoral arrangements of Crawley Borough Council during 2018. The Commission monitors levels of electoral equality between Wards within each local authority and conducts reviews where changes in population lead to a reduction in the levels of electoral equality. The aim of a review is to establish Ward boundaries that mean each Borough Councillor represents approximately the same number of voters. The electoral arrangements for Crawley were last reviewed in 2002. Development in the Borough since that time, particularly in the Three Bridges Ward has led to electoral inequality between Wards and the review by the LGBCE will address this inequality. The review covers • The number of Councillors to be elected to the Council (Council size) • The number, names and boundaries of Wards • The number of Councillors to be elected for each Ward The Commission has announced that it is minded that Crawley Borough Council should have 36 Borough Councillors and has invited proposals on a pattern of electoral Wards to accommodate those Councillors. This document sets out Crawley Borough Council’s response. The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Act 2009 sets out the criteria that the LGBCE must have regard to in conducting electoral reviews. The Council has developed a proposed pattern of Wards which offer the best balance of these statutory requirements which are: • The need to secure equality of representation • The need to reflect the identities and interests of local communities • The need to secure effective and convenient local government BACKGROUND TO CRAWLEY Crawley is a vibrant town which sits in the heart of the Gatwick Diamond sub region.

  • Chapter 11: Recreation and Leisure
    CHAPTER 11: RECREATION AND LEISURE INTRODUCTION 11.1 Recreation and leisure are important for the quality of life of both individuals and the community as a whole. They can help promote healthy lifestyles, a sense of place, civic pride and community spirit and the enjoyment of culture and art. At the same time, they can raise the perception of the town by non-residents. This chapter aims to promote and encourage the provision of recreation facilities in the best manner possible so that they are readily accessible to all groups within the community. MAIN CHARACTERISTICS 11.2 Partly as a result of its development as a New Town, Crawley has had recreation facilities provided to a high standard. These include two sports centres, a modern theatre and exhibition facilities, health clubs, an athletics stadium, a series of sports fields, golf courses and a driving range, and extensive public open spaces and amenity areas with footpaths and bridleways. However, the borough's population is now about 90,000 and could be between 100,000 - 105,000 by the end of the plan period - nearly twice the size of that originally planned for the New Town. Compared with many areas the population remains comparatively young and active. This population is also ethnically and demographically more diverse than at the New Town's inception.
