Crawley Station Gateway

This £7.4m regeneration scheme will transform the public spaces and deliver major improvements to the operation of the bus station at this important gateway to Crawley town centre.

Funded by government and local authority capital funding allocated from the Crawley Growth programme and Towns Fund, the scheme is due to commence on site in November 2025 (completion 2027).

The first phase of the regeneration scheme will benefit the town centre in numerous ways including:

• providing physical improvements to the public spaces on Friary Way, the Martlets and Haslett Avenue West, creating a better-connected transport hub for pedestrians and cyclists between the railway station, bus station and the wider town centre
• delivering an enhanced bus station with improved bus and traffic flows around Friary Way and maximise operational capacity within the bus station to boost the provision of bus services across the town
• providing high quality, distinctive and enjoyable public spaces for residents, visitors, and town centre workers, boosting footfall and vitality in the town centre and encouraging a stronger sense of place
• adding quality soft landscaping to the area with a variety of planting and greenery to enhance the quality of the environment
• providing continuous and safe cycle infrastructure to the edge of the pedestrian shopping area as an extension of the wider cycle network
• ensuring the area is accessible to all users including children, older people, people with disabilities, workers, residents, and visitors who will be using the area at various times
• transforming the living and working environment to help unlock private sector investment and development including new high-quality residential accommodation, and new commercial space
