On 19 November 2025, Alison McGovern, Minister of State for Local Government and Homelessness, sent a letter to the leaders of East Sussex and Brighton and Hove councils announcing the launch of a consultation on local government reorganisation. The consultation will consider proposals that combine West Sussex, East Sussex and Brighton and Hove. The letter was not sent to the leader of Wealden District Council, which did not submit a proposal for unitary local government. The Ministry says the proposals in the three areas have been grouped together for the purposes of the consultation. The letter is part of the government’s effort to gather input on potential changes to local government structure.
