Keep Crawley, far more notable than a place called Gatwick where an airport happens to be located.

Change the name of the airport to London Crawley Airport thus following established past changes such as Charles de Gaulle, Kennedy, John Lennon airports and others.

Where will the cathedral be? A new building located on the Town Hall when it is redeveloped or an enhanced St John the Baptist or St Peter’s Parish Church? No parking problems in the town unless the congregations multiply.
