Crawley hotel puts in bid to build bright red bear sculpture

Plans to install a 9ft high sculpture of a bright red bear outside a hotel in Crawley have been submitted to the borough council.

If approved, the bear – wearing goggles and an aviation helmet, with a flight bag over its shoulder – will be set up outside the Radisson Red Hotel, in Langley Green.

The council has also received an application to convert the first and second floors of 28-32 Broadway into flats.

The flats, sited above the former Affogato coffee shop, would be made up of two studios and four one-bedroom homes.
