Leisure Management Options - your chance to comment

The council is considering different management options for four of its leisure and cultural services - The Hawth, community centres, adventure playgrounds and Tilgate Park.

We commissioned an independent organisation to carry out a detailed appraisal of the options for managing these services. Details of all the options are available on the links below - we'd welcome your comments.

Future management option appraisals:

To have your say on these proposals contact Phil Rogers, Director of Community Services, by email at phil.rogers@crawley.gov.uk or write to Phil Rogers, Crawley Borough Council, Town Hall, The Boulevard, Crawley RH10 1UZ before 31 October.

Fun and Entertainment

Crawley is hard to beat for leisure - we have night clubs, 15 screen cinema, bowling and great eating in the town centre and close by a lively theatre in a lovely woodland setting. In our 13 neighbourhoods there are pubs, play facilities, parks and community centres.

Shopping

County Mall Shopping Centre, Queens Square and the historic High Street offer the best mix of shopping for miles around. There are also local shops in every neighbourhood.

Green Spaces

Crawley is lucky to have some great open spaces, including Tilgate Park, set in 400 acres and home to a golf course and nature centre.

We manage all of our opens spaces carefully for conservation, and have won awards for our efforts.
