Major improvements to Crawley beauty spot the Mill Pond will begin next month.

The 18-month project, due to begin on the 21st of April, will see new and improved footpaths, an extra car park off Gossops Drive, the de-silting of both the northern and southern ponds and a new dam near Ifield Mill,

Work will be completed in three stages, with construction starting at the dam and the northern pond in Ifield. Work then moves on to the southern pond in Bewbush and Gossops Green, before the final stage at Bewbush Water Gardens.
