 The Sussex And The City Podcast – Episode 1: Sussex Is Changing - But Is Anyone Paying Attention? Host: Richard Freeman Guest: Geri Silverstone, founder of Silverstone Communications / regional lead at Devo Agency 🔍 Episode summary In the debut episode of Sussex and the city, host Richard Freeman sets the scene for one of the most pressing and under-discussed transformations affecting Brighton and the wider Sussex region: local government reorganisation and the introduction of a directly elected mayor. Joining Richard is political communications strategist Geri Silverstone, who unpacks the complexity of devolution in Sussex, the imminent shift to unitary authorities, and what this means for representation, power, and public services. They explore the risks, opportunities, and democratic dilemmas of a new combined authority model - asking what kind of leader Sussex really needs, and what’s at stake if we get it wrong. Topics include: The end of the two-tier system: abolishing district and county councils in favour of unitary authorities The role and powers of a new mayor for Sussex Comparisons with Greater Manchester, West Midlands, and Cambridgeshire Questions of identity, geography, and regional cohesion How we build “devolution literacy” and avoid a low-turnout disaster The priority issues: housing, transport, strategic oversight, and place-making With humour, insight, and urgency, Richard and Geri begin a public conversation that aims to inform, challenge, and prepare people across Sussex for the biggest governance shift in a generation.
