Indecent Exposure in Crawley

A month on and Sussex Police are still asking for assistance in identifying a man who exposed himself to a young girl in Crawley.

The incident occurred just after 4 o’clock the afternoon of March 19th on Ifield Avenue.

The man was riding a bike and as he passed the 12 year-old girl, he exposed himself. He later passed her again, indecently assaulting her.

The suspect is described as white with tanned skin, dark blonde collar-length curtain hair with bits of grey, and stubble.

New Crawley Cemetry

Crawley Borough Council have identified a potential site for a new cemetery.

The site is on council owned land at the guides campsite at little trees, and the new cemetery could provide space for 50 years.

However the proposed site needs further assessment and investigations before it can be considered as a suitable location.

Over the coming weeks the council will carry out investigations such as a traffic impact assessment to investigate current traffic movements in the area and A habitat survey.
