Henry Smith Welcomes Housing List Reforms

Crawley MP, Henry Smith has expressed support for a government bill which ensures people with a long standing connection to their local community will be pushed to the top of the housing waiting list

Mr Smith believes local council homes should go to families with a well established residency or job in the local area.

He commented 1 in 6 of all social housing tenants in the south east are now foreigners.

Recent strong winds and heavy rain have caused serious damage to the roof of Leacroft Medical practice.

On the evening of Monday December 23 2013 the roof of the practice in Langley Drive was partially torn off by strong winds, with the result that heavy rain entered about half the building. This left extensive water damage over two floors and rendered the building unusable.

Consequently alternative services have been provided at Crawley Hospital

Crawley MP, Henry Smith said even after Leacroft is reopened he supports a service at Crawley, as he feels this would benefit the Langley Green and West Green area.
