LETTER: Name change to Gatwick City

It is good to know 70 years ago 'the area around Crawley, Ifield and Three Bridges was chosen by the [Labour] Government as the location for one of eight new towns', and it is also good to know the [Conservative] Government looks set to grant City status to this ever-growing area ('MP in call for town to get city status', Crawley Observer Front Page, January 25).
Your views.Your views.
Your views.

But it is not good to know the local Conservative and Labour Governments are unlikely to carry out a Public Consultation seeking the views of its local people.

May I suggest we are consulted as to whether or not to change the name of the town to “Gatwick City”, in recognition of the area’s growth and international status.
