Getting Involved

Having your say about Crawley

Listening and responding to our communities is at the heart of what we do. Listening to the people who live, work or visit the town has helped shape the future priorities for the council and improve services.

The council’s Community Engagement Framework sets out commitments to ensure that:

• Customers are able to influence what we do
• That local people are given opportunities to shape the place where they live
• As an organisation we improve the way we engage and involve others
