Have Your Say on East Sussex Local Government Changes by 15 June 2026
A Government consultation is now open on proposed changes to local council arrangements in East Sussex. Government plans include moving areas including Peacehaven, Telscombe, East Saltdean and Falmer into Brighton & Hove City Council which is already a unitary council, and creating a single unitary authority for the rest of the county. This is a revised version of the One East Sussex proposal https://eastsussexcouncils.org/the-proposal/ which was drawn up by all the councils in East Sussex, which suggested a new unitary council should cover the whole county of East Sussex. All residents are invited to give their views on the consultation website https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/modified-proposals-for-local-government-reorganisation-in-east-sussex-and-brighton-and-hove/modified-proposals-for-local-government-reorganisation-in-east-sussex-and-brighton-and-hove
