The Corporate Plan 2025 to 2028 sets out our five strategic objectives to make Crawley an even better place to live, work, visit and have fun.   

We will:

• create a thriving local economy with new diverse and green jobs - enable sustainable economic growth which benefits the local community and improves job opportunities for local residents
• tackle the housing emergency - enable more people to have the dignity of a quality, sustainable and affordable home and tackle the damage of homelessness on our communities
• ensure Crawley is a vibrant town with high quality facilities - make Crawley cleaner and greener with high quality leisure, cultural and outdoor facilities to support health and wellbeing
• build connected and thriving communities - communities in Crawley will thrive, where every resident can live life to its fullest in a safe, inclusive and cohesive town
• prepare Crawley for the future - ensure that residents realise the benefits of local government reorganisation, seeing continuation of high-quality services meeting their needs

To deliver these strategic priorities, we will particularly focus on five priority programmes:

• local economy - develop and implement a new economic and place-making vision that maximises the opportunities to develop Crawley’s vibrant economy
• Three Bridges - deliver improvements to Three Bridges Station in partnership with Network Rail and WSCC
• new homes - get major new housing projects underway for Crawley residents and develop a pipeline for new homes in the future to help tackle the housing emergency
• Goffs Park - create a lasting legacy for the borough and its residents by transforming Goffs Park in the heart of the town
• Town Council - create a Town Council which will protect and champion the new town offer for the residents of Crawley, subject to the findings of the Community Governance Review

Alongside this, we will prepare for the transfer of powers to a new unitary authority and ensure that we can hand over responsibility for Crawley to the new council so it can continue to serve the people and the town.
