Bewbush Playbus

Bewbush is one of the many neighbourhood districts in the town of Crawley. When the area was developing, the Girl Guides Association, in conjunction with British Caledonian Airways and The British Airports Authority, offered Crawley a bus. The initial funding for the bus came from the ‘1977 Queen’s Silver Jubilee Community Awards’. It was decided that a community bus would best suit the needs of Bewbush as it would be mobile and could move as the area expanded. The bus was meant to fill a temporary gap and would move to other areas as the need required

The project received a plaque from for Services to the Community from Her Majesty the Queens Silver Jubilee Community Awards. The bus became an important and well loved ‘Playbus’ with links to Gatwick Airport.

The Bewbush Playbus and the stories are brought to life by Sue Wickstead a Crawley author and teacher.
