In a bid to bolster safety and support within the town center, Crawley has launched its own team of Night Street Marshals, following successful implementations in Brighton and a recent launch in Eastbourne. Operational during the peak hours of 8 pm to 4 am on Friday and Saturday nights, these marshals will patrol key areas of Crawley Town Centre, providing a visible presence to enhance security.
The initiative, a collaborative effort between local authorities, police, and key partners, including Street Pastors, licensed door staff, and the Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP), aims to create a safer night-time environment for residents and visitors alike. By working in tandem with existing security measures and support services, the Night Street Marshals will play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of individuals during the town’s busiest nights.
