Proposal to relocate the town centre market to Queensway

ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council recognises that the town centre market has been a long-standing and well-regarded asset the town centre ‘offer’ and we work hard to support traders and promote its operation in the Town. The market attracts a diverse range of customers and it is the Council’s intention to encourage a ‘refreshed’ market with an increased offer, going forward.

The Station Gateway project will deliver a significant upgrade to the pedestrian public spaces on Haslett Avenue West, Friary Way and the Martlets, along with operational and layout improvements to ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ bus station, working with Metrobus. Subject to planning permission, it is envisaged that the works to deliver these improvements will start on site in autumn 2025. The programme of works is not anticipated to be completed until summer 2027.

In anticipation of these works taking place, it is the Council’s intention to apply to relocate the town centre market from Haslett Avenue West and The Broadway to the Queensway with effect from 12  March 2025.

In order to seek the views of interested parties, officers are undertaking a consultation exercise on this proposal with both the town centre market traders and those businesses located within and around Queensway. Comments are invited between now and Sunday 8 December 2024.

Feedback from the consultation will be taken into account when planning the next steps and Members will be kept informed of progress.

If you would like to know more about the relocation plans or have any questions about this proposal, email joseph.carey@crawley.gov.uk (Town Centre Regeneration Officer).

Trade on the market

Our market is now at full capacity but enquiries are welcome.

Prospective new applicants have the option to join a waiting list. We will keep your contact details for three months. If there isn't a pitch available at this point, your details will be removed from our system and you will have to submit another enquiry.

All stalls and trading days are subject to change and are weather dependent.

We need at least 28 days’ notice before your proposed first trading day. Fees are £21 per day per trader. Please remember that you must not trade without permission and consent, provided only by ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council, for the regular town centre market.

Overall objectives and considerations

The number of pitch spaces on the market, located in Haslett Avenue West and The Broadway, are limited. Approved applications and allocations are at the discretion of ºÚÁÏÍøÕ¾ Borough Council.
