Our Savings in
East Sussex
Planning our budget for 2016-19
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings
20%
We serve a county of more than 530,000 residents.
We’ll spend about £1,400 each year for every
household in the county over the next three years.
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings
20%
But we have to
find savings of at
least £70 million
by 2019 – starting in
April. This is because
the size of the state in
the UK is being cut back. Planning is underway for an estimated
saving of £70-£90 million over the three
years from 2016/17 to 2018/19.
£70m
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings

At the moment we have total resources of
£370 million, mostly spent on providing services.
Estimated saving of £70-£90 million by 2019.
Our
total
resources
This will mean
making savings
of around
20 per cent from
our current budget.
£70
million
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings

The result is
enormous pressure
on frontline services
in East Sussex.
The services we provide in future will look very different –
changing, shrinking or in some cases disappearing altogether.
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings
20%
We receive £65 million in our main grant from the government;
by 2019 this is likely to fall below £19 million. By 2019 East Sussex
will have a further 5,700 residents aged over 65 and 1,600 aged over 85.
Older people are much more likely to need support.
Continuing rise in number of
residents who want our services
Our grant from central government
continues to be cut
Reduced
funding
This is
happening
because our
funding is
falling and
demand for
services is rising.
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings
20%
We saved £64 million in the current
three-year period and £14 million
over the previous three years.
The saving we need
to make comes on top
of £78 million we’ve
already saved.
We’ll have £600 less
for each household
in East Sussex
than we used to.

We’ve shown how
flexible and prudent
we are. For example,
we’ve cut the number
of senior managers
at the council by
a quarter.
£27mThe combined annual
cost of our business
services and
governance services.
£70-90mThe savings we still need to make.
But back office cuts will
no longer be enough.
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings

£70m
Annual cost of
our libraries
£5.4m
Annual cost of
Children’s Centres
£5.8m
Annual cost of
our early intervention
services for
vulnerable adults
£17.5m
* Examples for illustration only
Every service
will be affected.
And wherever
savings are
found, they’ll
need to be
substantial. This is just an example but it shows how
the total cost of three major service areas is
less than half the £70m-£90m saving needed.
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings
20%
The largest part of our
budget is already committed
to services we must provide.
The savings we need to
find will have to come
from the remaining fifth
of our budget. Our choices
are very limited.
More than 80 per cent of our gross budget
of £780m offers almost no potential for savings.
They will need to be found from the remaining £141m.

We’re joining up resources for health and social care to provide
the best possible services under East Sussex Better Together
By far the biggest
part of our budget is
for the most vulnerable
people in East Sussex.
Two-thirds of our
spending goes on a
quarter of the
population.

We’ll find new ways of working with
our partners and the community.
In future services
in East Sussex
will look very
different.
Councillors will
make tough
choices based on
evidence. We’ll
need to be
imaginative too.
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings
20%
We’ll still be able
to spend around
£350 million on
services each year.
But, more than ever,
we’ll need to make
every penny count.
Helping people
help themselves
Elected members will use our priorities to guide us
through these very challenging times for East Sussex
and take control of the future as far as possible:
Keeping vulnerable
people safe
Driving economic
growth
OUR SAVINGS IN EAST SUSSEX  eastsussex.gov.uk/savings
20%
How should we
tackle this?
We’re already making plans but we want
to know how residents and our partners
feel we should take these tough choices.
Our three-year spending plan will be fully
worked up between now and January, before
elected members make final decisions.
