The question
How can people across Sussex understand, and have a say in, a once-in-a-generation change to how the county is governed?
Businesses, charities and residents told us they felt overwhelmed by the noise and unsure what devolution meant for them.
What we’RE DOING
Since 2025 we’ve run Sussex And The City, an independent, non-political podcast, newsletter and events series, backed by a coalition of around 40 Sussex organisations and more than 50 crowdfunders.
In 2027 it goes on the road, with 13 Question Time-style public events across Sussex.
HOW WE’RE DOING IT
We talk to everyone from MPs and council leaders to founders, charities and residents, with 89 contributors across 66 episodes so far, and turn what they tell us into plain-English bulletins and a shared evidence base.
This evidence is helping to shape local policy and ensure a wide range of voices are at the table.
