What We Do

Introduction

The East Sussex Local Area Agreement (LAA)

Community planning and local strategic partnerships in East Sussex

Sustainable Community Strategies

Local authorities are required by government to work with partners to produce a sustainable community strategy. They show how local organisations and agencies will work together to improve the economic, social and environmental well-being of their area while safeguarding the prospects of future generations.

Pride of Place, the Sustainable Community Strategy for East Sussex

In East Sussex, the six local authorities and six Local Strategic Partnerships in East Sussex have worked together to produce one, integrated strategy - Pride of Place. For information on how we developed this strategy, go to sustainable community strategy development and reviews.

Pride of Place sets out a shared vision for East Sussex in 2026 to create places where everyone can prosper, be safe and healthy, and live in a high quality environment. 

The strategy contains countywide strategic objectives and priorities to help achieve this vision. There are also detailed sustainable community strategy chapters for each of the districts and boroughs within the county, setting out a clear local vision, local objectives and local priorities. To read the strategy go to Pride of Place.

Delivery

Pride of Place contains a number of key tasks organised into 9 themes. There will be a number of action plans that help address these priorities, including the Local Area Agreement and the Countywide Action Plan.
