Purpose: At its meeting on 10 January 2024 the Cabinet considered report HCS/068 which assessed proposals to further improve the leisure facilities available to visitors as well as support spend-to-save and spend-to-earn initiatives. At that meeting the Cabinet resolved (resolution c) to delegate authority to the Head of Community Services, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Leisure and Wellbeing, to proceed with projects and proposals subject to budget availability and delegation levels.

A further options report was produced for the Cabinet Member on 28 March 2024 for an amendment to the Crawley Borough Council Off-Street Parking Places - Civil Enforcement and Consolidation Order 2009, providing options for consideration.
