Consultation on future of local Government launches

Residents are being invited to take part in a consultation that will help reshape local government and how services are run in the future.

Government wants to reorganise local government so that everyone in East Sussex gets their services from just one council. This could mean the county council and district and borough councils would be replaced by a single authority.

Other options could also be considered if they attract wide public support and government backing.

With a new council expected to be elected in 2027 and start work in 2028, East Sussex County Council and district and borough councils are working on plans and are asking residents for their views.

The consultation is  available to complete online at www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/EastSussexLGR/  from Monday, May 12 to Monday,

June 23.
