Crawley’s new cemetery has moved a major step closer after work started on-site.
The new cemetery named ‘Little Trees’ near the A264 Crawley South Bypass will eventually provide enough burial space for up to 50 years.
Crawley’s existing cemetery – Snell Hatch in West Green – is running out of space.
The development is being undertaken by local contractor, Hobart Paving and is scheduled to be completed by next summer.
Several people were injured after two cars were involved in a collision in Southwater, near Horsham on Friday evening (21 October).
The accident on the A24 occurred around eight o’clock.

Both the northbound and the southbound carriageways were closed for several hours while the vehicles were recovered and the scene made safe.
All five casualties – three people from the Vauxhall and two from the Citroen – were taken to hospital for treatment.
Anyone who has any information that could assist in the investigation in asked to contact collision.appeal@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call 101, quoting serial 1397 of 21/10.

The lights are being erected in the Five Acres garage area following concerns from residents, garage tenants and councillors.
Council officers visited the area and agreed that better street lighting was needed to provide safety and reduce the fear of anti-social behaviour.
Initial trenching works have already taken place and it’s likely that the installation will take about four weeks.
