[Sussex] One Sussex - time to unify?

[Eeyore]

The days of having a Sussex,England or Great Britain have gone

I'm always late on these things. So what are we called now ?

If East Sussex and Brighton & Hove were to become one authority Saltdean would become reunified. Would we all have to head up there, push a wall over and sing David Hasselhoff songs?

There is a good few feet gap between the Welcome to signs for Brighton & Hove/East Sussex on the A259. Is that some kind of self governing enclave ?

Bollocks to that, here in East Sussex we want nothing to do with that pair of publicity seeking wasters.
Can't we pass them on to Surrey or Hampshire?

Too close. Launch them into the sun.

Question
The plans to do away with district and borough councils in favour of a unitary authority…….what happens to the nimby parish councils, do they go too ?

If we’re re-drawing the county map in this way, can we at least please do whatever it takes to get Crawley transferred to Surrey?

Or, preferably, Neptune.

Sussex town could be set to become part of Surrey

Crawley Borough Council is holding ‘exploratory discussions’ which could see the town’s political boundaries moved into Surrey

Dreams do come true.

“Michael Jones, leader of the council, had previously said that Crawley’s identity needed to be ‘strongly retained’ during any reforms.”

What identity is that then? Stabbings and teenage pregnancies?

Ye Gods! Having managed to hive Croydon off into Greater London we don't want Crawley as a replacement!

The massive unitary authorities, with their elected mayors, looks like a good way to an elected second chamber (Senate).
