Despite its name Crawley Down isn't part of Crawley. It's due East of it but separated by about two miles of country and the M23.
It's a quite posh area in the main. There are one or two areas not up to spec, but Crawley it isn't.more likely to be a mental health issue.

It’s a quiet little area full of walkers and families cycling together, passing through on bikes. I’ve run and cycled through there many times over the years.

Weirdly BBC tv thought that someone doing monkey noises at a football ground was a better lead story and more newsworthy than this tragedy.
They really have lost the plot these days, the Tory election win has really rocked their little woke world.
I listened to various BBC radio news broadcasts during the day and at times it was the lead story or near the top on different news bulletins.They really have lost the plot these days, the Tory election win has really rocked their little woke world.
Was it the lead on ITN bulletins throughout the day?
How did Sky news handle it?
Because it is almost definitely a domestic incident, why do you think it should be the lead story on national news?

Not that weird. It's an (awful) domestic issue, rather than a national one.They really have lost the plot these days, the Tory election win has really rocked their little woke world.

(I am aware of the irony in my post, but couldn't let it go.)

The street where the murders happened is down near the worth way NCR21 isn’t it?

Yes, near the old railway line to East Grinstead. In fact if you travel from Crawley to East Grinstead along the Worthway the part through Crawley Down takes you along Hazel Way so you have probably cycled along that road, it takes you to the ponds at where the track starts again.It’s a quiet little area full of walkers and families cycling together, passing through on bikes.

It is the older part of the large development that was done in the area in the 1970's.
The street in question is iirc mostly 3/4 bed semi's.
