Historic High Street set for safety improvements

New street furniture is set to be installed in the Historic High Street by Crawley Borough Council, making the area significantly safer for pedestrians.

The pedestrianised part of the High Street is often blighted with illegally parked and moving cars, making the area unsightly and potentially dangerous. Driving has also caused tactile paving slabs and cobbles to need to be replaced because they are not designed to have vehicles on them.
