Youth unemployment in Crawley has fallen to 2-per-cent.
That’s according to the Office for National Statistics which reveal that the figure has dropped by over a third in the last year.

A woman was attacked and shouted at by three other women last Friday in Three Bridges in Crawley.

The 22-year-old – who was smoking as she waited for a taxi with a friend – was hit in the face near the LB1 Bar in Gales Drive.

People nearby pulled the attackers off the woman.

A consultant surgeon’s been sacked following an investigation into the treatment of cancer patients – including 27 who came to harm.

Paul Miller worked at East Surrey Hospital in Redhill, and Spire Gatwick Park Hospital in Horley.

Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust has apologised for the care given by the urologist between 2006 and 2013.
Mr Miller, who was suspended last year, says the decision to sack him was unjustified.

A teenager from Crawley has admitted going on a burglary spree across Sussex.

The 17 year-old broke into 12 properties last month.

His fingerprints were found at addresses in Crawley, Worthing, Brighton and Hove.

The teenager pleaded guilty and has been remanded in custody to be sentenced later this month.

A financial adviser from Horsham has been ordered to repay more than a quarter of a million pounds to his victim.

54 year-old Jonathan Pollard is already serving a three-year prison sentence for systematically stealing from a vulnerable elderly client.

A Confiscation Order for over £250,000 was made under the Proceeds of Crime Act and is due to be paid to the victim.

Pollard has been given 21 days to pay the first instalment and six months to pay the remainder. He faces another three years in prison and an increase in the sum if he delays on payments.
