Crawley Council's meeting on Tuesday 25 June 2024 focused on several key issues, including the implementation of a Temporary Traffic Regulation Order for Southgate Avenue, updates on delegated planning decisions, and the review of the Councillors Information Bulletin.

Temporary Traffic Regulation Order for Southgate Avenue

The council discussed the Temporary Traffic Regulation Order for Southgate Avenue. This order aims to manage traffic flow and ensure safety during ongoing construction work in the area. Councillors debated the potential impact on local businesses and residents. One councillor noted, The temporary order is essential to maintain safety, but we must ensure it does not unduly disrupt daily life for our residents and businesses.

Delegated Planning Decisions

The meeting reviewed the Delegated Planning Decisions. These decisions, made by planning officers under delegated authority, included approvals for minor residential extensions and changes to commercial properties. The council emphasised the importance of transparency and community involvement in the planning process. A councillor remarked, While delegated decisions expedite the process, we must ensure that the community is kept informed and has a voice in significant developments.

Councillors Information Bulletin

The Councillors Information Bulletin was reviewed, providing updates on various ongoing projects and initiatives within the council. This included updates on local infrastructure projects, community events, and public health initiatives. The bulletin serves as a comprehensive resource for councillors to stay informed about the latest developments and upcoming events in Crawley.
