Crawley Question returns for 2026
Crawley Question Time is back for another year, giving residents an opportunity to ask questions about topics important to them. The event will take place from 7pm to 9pm on Wednesday 18 March in the Town Hall.
The independently chaired, general debate and discussion gives attendees the opportunity raise any areas or concerns such as community safety, planning, health, London Gatwick, parking or the economy.
This year’s panellists are:
- Councillor Michael Jones, Leader of Crawley Borough Council
- Councillor Atif Nawaz, Deputy Leader of Crawley Borough Council and Cabinet member for Planning and Economic Development
- Councillor Nick Hilton, Cabinet member for Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change
- Fouzia Harrington, Director of Joint Commissioning and Integrated Community Team Development (West Sussex), NHS Sussex
- Chief Inspector Steve Turner, Sussex Police
In addition, Kai Atkins, Youth Mayor, and Harini Senthil, Deputy Youth Mayor will be in attendance.
The event will be hosted by Steve Sawyer, Executive Director of Manor Royal Business District, who commented: “It’s a real privilege to chair Crawley Question Time again this year. Events like this give us an invaluable chance to bring the business community and local residents together to hear what matters most to them.”
Councillor Michael Jones said: “Crawley Question Time is a vital opportunity for our residents to engage directly with local decision‑makers. Our community is strongest when people feel heard, and events like this help shape the policies and priorities. I’m looking forward to an open, constructive conversation and to hearing the ideas and concerns.”
The event is open to everyone – the public, business leaders and partner organisations. The views and comments expressed will help the council and others to plan work on improving services and the town in general.
Parking is available at the Town Hall multi-storey car park on Exchange Road or Kingsgate multi-storey car park opposite the Town Hall.
