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

The government wants to reorganise local government in East Sussex. There are various options for how this could happen, and residents are now being asked for their views.

The new council arrangements are expected to be operational in 2028.

The consultation is available to complete online at www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/EastSussexLGR/ until Monday 23 June 2025.

More information about Local Government Reorganisation in East Sussex can be found at www.eastsussexcouncils.org
