9th January 2017 marks the 70th anniversary of Crawley New Town.
As part of the rebuilding following the Second World War, and under the provision of the 1946 New Towns Act, it was announced that the villages of Three Bridges and Ifield and the small market town of Crawley would be brought together as one new town.
As depicted in our coat of arms following the 1947 formation, Crawley’s motto is “I Grow and I Rejoice” – appropriately referring to the building of a happy and expanding community.
Seven decades on the town continues to develop, with new homes and businesses being established all the time.
It is my honour to represent Crawley in the House of Commons, and if I may be able to assist in 2017, please do not hesitate to let me know.
