The Crawley Borough Council’s cabinet will discuss the setting up of six Winter Warmers. The warm banks will be located in community centres across the town, including Bewbush, Broadfield, Furnace Green, Ifield West, Langley Green and Tilgate. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 23.

The warm banks would provide warm, comfortable spaces for residents to visit. At least two venues, usually more than this, would be open every weekday between Monday, November 28 until March 31, 2023 and at least one at the weekend.
