Have Your Say on Changes to East Sussex Boundaries by 15 June
Residents are being invited to share their views on Government proposals that could change local council boundaries in East Sussex. THIS LATEST CONSULTATION IS ON A REVISED VERSION OF THE ONE EAST SUSSEX PROPOSAL DRAWN UP BY ALL THE COUNCILS IN EAST SUSSEX , which suggested a new unitary council should cover the whole county of East Sussex. The Government agreed One East Sussex has โpositive strengthsโ but said it is concerned about the footprint of neighbouring Brighton & Hove City Council which is already a unitary council.
The Government proposal suggests that areas including Peacehaven, Telscombe, East Saltdean and Falmer would move into Brighton & Hove City Council, while the rest of East Sussex would be served by a new single unitary authority.
The Government is asking whether these changes would improve local services, governance, and financial sustainability. Submit your views online on the Consultation website by 15 June 2026
