Crawley MP Henry Smith: For too long we have had no say on Europe
I had just turned six years old when the last referendum on Europe was held and that was, we were told at the time, to join a free trading area (although anyone who read the Treaty of Rome at the time would have seen that was deceptive).
Crawley MP Henry Smith - Support for people who want to get on
I was delighted to see in last week’s Queen’s Speech a programme for government for the next year which is solely targeted towards backing people who work hard and want to get on in life.
Crawley MP Henry Smith - Ed Miliband cannot be taken seriously
“One man who asked a question had no idea who Ed Miliband was and started wandering off before he’d answered it. Two others hadn’t the first idea who he was. I said he was running for prime minister and one of them said: “… of Crawley?” “No – the whole country,” I said. “Jesus”, came the response.”

I was delighted to be part of Crawley’s growing St George’s Day parade last Sunday which represents many sections of the community and people from all backgrounds. The parade’s fun events and the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts gathering in Queen’s Square later in the afternoon were a joy to behold.
Labour comment
Crawley Labour council leader Peter Lamb: Crisis won’t be solved by cutting safety net
Last week I took part in a demonstration outside the Town Hall with members of the Independent Tenants’ Association. The demo was to raise awareness of the bedroom tax’s impact, following in the wake of Stephanie Bottrill’s suicide.
Crawley Labour leader Peter Lamb - Working together to solve parking issues
There’s a political cartoon from an old newspaper I came across recently. A politician is out knocking doors, in preparation he is working through arguments in his head about the big party political issues of the day. But, when the door finally opens, he is instead confronted with a barrage of local issues around bin collections and dog mess. Clearly politicians don’t get to decide what matters locally, voters do.
Crawley labour group leader Brenda Smith - Labour will fight for a fair deal for Crawley
Last Thursday Crawley went to the polls and voted in the West Sussex County Council elections.
Labour councillor Colin Moffatt - 17% of children living below the poverty line
The recent Campaign to End Child Poverty report, looking into child poverty figures in Crawley has shown many families are struggling to afford basics such as meals and school uniform.
Conservative comment
Crawley council leader Bob Lanzer: Are we controlling technology, or does it control us?
We do nowadays work with some amazing technology to keep in touch with each other. Our daily lives are exposed to multi-channel communication and a culture that increasingly looks for rapid or even instant response.
Crawley council leader Bob Lanzer - New legislation builds on our achievements
Last week’s Queen’s Speech heralded a new programme of legislation for the coalition government. This is to build upon some of the achievements already delivered since 2010.
Crawley council leader Bob Lanzer - Votes to right cost Conservative seats
We have elections in Crawley every year. A third of the Crawley Borough Council is up for election for three years in a row – 2014 to 2016, and then the West Sussex County Council in 2017. There are also the European Elections in 2014, the General Election in 2015 and the Police and Crime Commissioner Election in 2016. So we have a significant number of real opinion polls.
Crawley council leader Bob Lanzer - Indiscriminate killing is just morally wrong
It is sometimes said that one person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter. This is particularly the case with liberation movements such as the ANC (African National Congress) which fought to move South Africa away from white supremacist rule. It can though be difficult to apply the comment to all circumstances.
