Public Meeting - Local Government Reorganisation and Devolution

Public Meeting re: Local Government Reorganisation and Devolution

Residents are being invited to join the Leader of Lewes District Council at a public meeting on:

Friday 29th May

6pm–7pm

Meridian Centre, Peacehaven BN10 8BB.

This is to discuss the government’s latest consultation on local government reorganisation.

The consultation could lead to Falmer, East Saltdean, Telscombe and Peacehaven being moved out of Lewes district and into Brighton & Hove.

Councillor Zoe Nicholson, Leader of Lewes District Council, said: “This meeting will give residents another chance to voice their concerns and send a very clear message to the government. We have invited Steve Reed, the Secretary of State for Local Government, to attend and explain why the government is not listening to our residents. Let’s not forget, we are still waiting to see the results of the government’s first consultation from many months ago.”

The meeting will give residents the opportunity to hear the latest information, ask questions, and share their views.

Councillor Nicholson added: “I encourage as many people as possible to join me on 29 May at the Meridian Centre. If this proposal goes ahead, our residents will lose their local identity, their local voice and their agency to influence their future. It is vital that people make their views heard and I hope the minister will join us to hear them.”
