council develops a ‘Get Sussex Working Plan’ for the
period 2025-2035, outlining priorities and actions for moving East
Sussex towards an employment rate of 80%. The plan must be
co-produced and endorsed by West Sussex County Council and Brighton
and Hove City Council, and must also be endorsed by the Integrated
Care Board for Sussex and the South-East Regional Area Team for the
DWP, prior to being sent to the Minister for Employment for final
approval. It will be taken forward initially by the 3 upper tier
authorities and then under the remit of the proposed new Mayoral
Combined County Authority.
