Proposals to ease traffic congestion for the Manor Royal Business District in Crawley will be on display next weekend.

The scheme includes the installation of a bus lane in Manor Royal Road, improvements to the A23 London Road corridor and improvements to the County Oak and Metcalf Way area.  The proposals cost £2.1 million and are a key part of the Crawley Growth programme.

The next drop in session is on Saturday 16th February from 10 am to 2 pm at the County Mall Shopping Centre in Crawley. Residents can complete an online survey at westsussex.gov.uk/manorroyal. The closing date for responses is midnight on Tuesday 5th March.

Renovations are being planned to Gatwick Airport’s railway station.

It would provide improved access to platforms 5, 6 and 7.

A new first floor concourse and entrance area would link the two existing footbridges.

Furthermore, there will be additional canopies over platforms three to seven, which are often packed during wet weather.

A pub in Redhill which has been empty for over a year is to be turned into flats.

The Abbott, opposite the railway station, will provide ten two-bedroom flats with a shop on the ground floor.

The conservation officer says the proposed building will round off the shopping parade better, as it eliminates the blank wall.

However, the officer also said the building should reference the look of the surrounding area.

A man has been jailed for possession with intent to supply class A drugs, after trying to hide bags of white powder in his underwear.

20 year old Leonardo Da Silva was arrested on News Years Day after being stopped in a car park in Redhill.

After his arrest, he refused to sit in the police car and attempted to flee the scene, but was eventually taken into custody.

He’s been sentenced to 40 months behind bars, and has to pay nearly £1700.
