About

Broadfield East is the eastern section of the Broadfield neighbourhood in Crawley. The area is mainly residential, with a mix of council and privately owned housing built during the new town expansion in the mid-20th century. Local facilities cluster around a small shopping parade and a community centre, and residents use nearby primary and secondary schools. Street patterns and green corridors provide walking routes between housing areas and local open space, while local bus routes link the ward with Crawley town centre and the mainline station.

Sport and recreation are anchored by Broadfield Stadium, the home ground of Crawley Town F.C., which sits alongside community sports pitches and changing rooms. Parks and playing fields offer space for organised sport and informal use, and allotments and pocket greens appear through the neighbourhood.
