EAST SUSSEX COUNTY COUNCIL

Notice under The Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012

Between 25 November and 30 November 2025, the Director of Adult Social Care and Health will consider the following item: Approval to use Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Improvement Grant (DATRIG) funding to enhance services delivered to Change, Grow, Live (CGL).

The purpose of the item is:

To consider increasing funding to CGL. This funding will come from the DATRIG and will allow CGL to provide support to East Sussex residents affected by substance misuse and to meet the outcomes outlined by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID).

Under the requirements of Regulation 9 of The Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2021, the Council is required to give 28 days’ notice of a key decision identified within the scope of these regulations.

It is considered that the item referred to above would be a key decision and for the reasons of urgency set out below, compliance is considered impracticable, and an exception to Regulation 9 is therefore sought under Regulation 10 of the above Regulations. It is considered impracticable to comply with the requirements of The Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2021 because:

The DATRIG grant funding has been received and is required to be used by 31 March 2026. To ensure consistency to these essential services the work is ongoing but now need to formalise the decision and put the necessary contractual arrangements and documentation in place without delay.

Accordingly, a copy of this notice shall be available pursuant to Regulation 5(6) for at least 5 clear days prior to 25 November – 30 November 2025.

Date: 17 November 2025.
