Future of local government in Sussex

West Sussex County Council and our partners have put ourselves forward to be at the forefront of plans for historic changes to local government across the country.
Together with East Sussex County Council and Brighton & Hove City Council, we’re bidding to create a combined authority for Sussex that would be led by a mayor.
The government hopes plans to create more Mayoral Authorities in England will bring funding and local decision-making powers down from Westminster.
Council Leader Cllr Paul Marshall said: “This is the time to make the most of the opportunity for devolution and be among the first to access the benefits we need to help the whole of Sussex prosper now and for future generations.”
