As part of the current devolution proposals for Sussex, the Government is looking at creating at least three unitary authorities and possibly changing their boundaries. They launched a consultation to ask for local people’s views on the way ahead. That consultation is open until April 13th 2025 and can be found here https://tinyurl.com/43e99k4k
The full details of what the new authorities will look like, whether their boundaries will change and how the new Mayor of Sussex will interact with them are yet to be decided which is why it is important for everyone to have their say in the consultation. I am very concerned that the borders of the City of Brighton & Hove may be expanded to ‘gobble up’ council areas like Adur and Worthing in my old constituency which I know would be very unwelcome locally. That is why I am supporting the petition by East Worthing & Shoreham Conservatives to resist this which you can sign through the link below.
