Also, I think that Hastings and Eastbourne have no council that will survive, because they have been their own unitaries outside their districts. They will be abolished; there is no town council to live on after them. So, in my town of Eastbourne, we will have to create that whole structure. Should it be one or several? What do we do about the boundaries? We have been added to willy-nilly by Wealden, which has stuck lots of housing and developments around the outside of the borough boundaries. It is all now, sensibly, to become a linked community—but how? What will this look like? As I say, the existing structures and councils do not have the time to work this out. It must be decided at the community level. What has been done before? The problems in some of the reorganisations that we are doing must have turned up before. How do they get dealt with?
