The variety of tennis offered at parks in Crawley has won a Tennis Sussex award in the Parks Venue category. 

Judges were impressed by the upgraded facilities offered on nine courts at three venues across the town which were previously underutilised.  Free weekly sessions are offered for people aged 16 and over with a learning disability, and there are plans for a programme for people with a mental health diagnosis. 

In 2023 more than 100 people took part in Tennis for Free sessions in Crawley, and there were more than 800 pay and play bookings last year. 

Crawley Parks Tennis now moves forward to judging for the regional award and then potentially a national award.

Construction Work Begins on Caterham’s Croydon Road

Construction work on Croydon Road in Caterham is due to begin today.  The work will take around eleven months to complete.

A site compound will be created in Timber Hill Park for the construction company to use.  This will mean the suspension of some parking bays in Timber Hill Road. 

From the end of February a traffic management plan will be in place which includes traffic lights and partial road closures. 

Tandridge District Council says the work will include essential surface water repairs, planting more trees and greenery, and amendments to parking and bus bays.

Residents will still be able to access shops and businesses along Croydon Road.  The Council warns there will be some noise, and sometimes the crew will have to work overnight to reduce disruption during peak times.
