Any ideas on how we can do things better? Ranger Volunteers Get Together – Seven members of the team came along for cake and a briefing session. Hew talked about the plans for the Forest Centre. The session was a very useful chance to find out about what was going on and meet with fellow Rangers. Rich has pencilled in the next get-together for Monday 21 st September and thinks an evening meeting, so that those who work during the day can come along too, would be a good idea. He suggests meeting at the Red Lion, Chelwood Gate on Monday 21 st September! Notes from the last meeting will be sent out very soon – honest!

  • 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. As a result, the number of people using recreation facilities has increased and the range of demand broadened, for e.g., spectator sports, informal, non-competitive and healthy activities are now being pursued. 11.3 The built-up area is now much larger than originally planned, such that open space and undeveloped land is an increasingly valuable resource.
