The Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) prohibits alcohol related nuisance and anti-social behaviour in the town.
Councillor Brenda Smith said: “The current PSPO has been valuable in enabling the police and our community wardens to apply fines when appropriate.
“It makes sense to continue implementing this PSPO to ensure Crawley is a safe place for our residents and visitors to enjoy.”
