Crawley Green is a ward in the southern part of Luton near to London Luton Airport. The area was historically owned by the Crawley Family, owners of the now demolished Stockwood House and Stockwood Park. The area is mainly residential with estates such as Vauxhall Park and Devon Road containing a large number of houses. The area also includes the IBC factory and the now demonished Vauxhall plant. This area is to be redeveloped into new housing, light industry and a lesiure facility[citation needed].
The area is also home to one of Luton's High schools, Ashcroft High School and several primary schools including Crawley Green Infants and Welock Church of England Juniors.
