On 20 March 2024 Councillor M Jones, Leader of the Council, exercised their delegated authority to approve the write-off of debts between £2,500 and £50,000 as set out in report FIN/657 which was published for Councillors only in Councillors’ Information Bulletin IB/1224 on 12 March 2024.

On 12 March 2024 the Head of Governance, People & Performance made various changes to the Council's Corporate Complaints Policy to reflect and incorporate changes made by the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman and the Housing Ombudsman following their joint consultation.  The revised Policy is published on the Council’s website.

Sport England have granted Crawley Borough Council funding from the Exchequer through the Swimming Pool Support Fund Phase II with a requirement for a restriction on title for K2 Crawley to be placed.

This funding award is for the installation of additional photovoltaic panels and installation of LED lighting within the facility.  The award is in part due to the significant increase in utility costs over the past eighteen months which has greatly affected the provision of swimming pool facilities nationwide.  The scheme also fits in with Crawley Borough Council's Climate Emergency Action Plan and feed into the wider decarbonisation project which has recently commenced.

On 25 March 2024 the Head of Major Projects and Commercial Services agreed to place the restriction on the title for K2 Crawley to enable the funding to be released and move the decarbonisation projects forward.
