  • 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.

  • Narrative Report 2018 – 2019
    Narrative Report 2018 – 2019 Narrative Report (Continued) 1. An Introduction to Crawley Borough Council Crawley Borough covers just under 18 sq miles and has a population of approximately 111,700 residents, which is growing and forecast to reach 122,000 by 2034. It is situated in the north eastern part of the county of West Sussex. Crawley is a bustling modern town and the major economic force in West Sussex as well as the Gatwick Diamond area, with over 3,000 active businesses. Crawley Borough benefits from Gatwick Airport located within it, the world’s busiest single runway airport, which hosts up to 46 million passengers per year and also from Manor Royal, the South East’s premier business park, which employs 30,000 people and accommodates 600 businesses across 240 hectares. The land between Manor Royal and the airport is required to be safeguarded for a potential second runway. Despite having just two per cent of the West Sussex land mass, Crawley contributes 25 per cent of its annual economic wealth output – it is superbly placed to sustain high value economic growth. Crawley’s economy is not worth almost £5bn per annum in Gross Value Added and is one of the fastest growing in the Coast to Capital LEP area. With 102,000 jobs and growing, Crawley has the second highest job density in the country outside Central London. Centre for Cities 2016 report, has found that Crawley is one of the most productive and innovative places in the UK (10th lowest JSA claimant count, 2nd highest weekly wages (after London), highest proportion of private sector jobs.

  • Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) Is a Practical, Evidence-Based Plan for Making That Happen
    Crawley LCWIP Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan 2021 crawley.gov.uk/transport 1 Crawley LCWIP 2 Crawley LCWIP Version release Author Approved 24 June 2020 Kay Wagland Crawley Borough Council Cabinet Consultation draft Sustainability Team 12 March 2021 Kay Wagland Cllr Gurinder Jhans Final Sustainability Team Environmental Services and Sustainability LCWIP Steering Group 3 Crawley LCWIP Crawley Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan – 2021 Foreword Crawley has most of the elements to be a great town for cycling and walking: it is relatively flat, with access to shopping, employment, education and leisure facilities within a short radius of our homes and has many leafy, green avenues that could make cycling and walking particularly appealing. The other element needed is a high quality network of safe, practical and attractive cycling and walking routes for Crawley residents and visitors of most abilities that meet shorter journey needs. The Crawley Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP) is a practical, evidence-based plan for making that happen. The LCWIP identifies functional, direct routes and zones and outlines measures to develop these into a connected network. It will inform the new Local Plan, guiding building development, and will provide a clear rationale for investment to make our streets safe and attractive for active travel and for collaborative working with our local transport authority. It is an important contribution to New Directions for Crawley, the council’s transport and access plan, which outlines transport as the key sector contributing to the climate emergency, poor air quality and mental and physical health issues. Our LCWIP will help local residents and businesses to be central to the discussion to improve people-focused, healthy, low carbon neighbourhoods.
