Local Government Reorganisation Proposals

Following the public consultation, the Government is currently considering proposals for local government reorganisation (LGR) across the boundaries of East Sussex County Council and Brighton & Hove. This follows the Government's decision to replace the two-tier system of separate county and district councils with a single tier of local government responsible for delivering all public services in an area.

Brighton and Hove City Council has put in a request to see the wards of Peacehaven West, Peacehaven East, Peacehaven North, East Saltdean & Telscombe Cliffs, and Falmer Parish (from Kingston Ward) form part of Brighton & Hove City Council, whilst East Sussex County Council has requested that these wards stay under their remit.

Peacehaven Town Mayor, Cllr. Aimee Harman said, "Following the Consultation and Public Meeting, both ESCC & BHCC have positively engaged with Peacehaven Town Council and we’re pleased to be able to share this information with the people of Peacehaven"
