Public sector security in Sussex

East Sussex County Council, West Sussex County Council, Brighton and Hove City Council, and the various district and borough councils across Sussex together manage a large and varied public sector estate. Brighton and Hove's urban density brings challenges similar to London. The more rural districts of West Sussex and the East Sussex Weald face the challenges of dispersed, often historic buildings with limited existing infrastructure.

Brighton and Hove is one of the most active cities in England for civic events — festivals, conferences, public gatherings and community events bring large numbers of people into its public buildings and spaces throughout the year. Buildings that reach the 200-person threshold are in scope, and ticketed events of 800 or more can be qualifying events. Brighton Centre, the seafront and the historic Lanes area are among the most complex security environments in the South East.

Sussex's NHS estate includes the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Eastbourne District General and a network of community health facilities across both counties. Healthcare settings have specific security requirements that go beyond standard commercial specifications — including lone worker protection, violent patient incident management and secure drug storage — and we design for these obligations as standard.

Local Knowledge

Sussex — what we know about your area

Sussex has an unusually high proportion of public buildings within National Park boundaries — the South Downs National Park covers a significant area of both East and West Sussex. Planning constraints in these areas are stricter than elsewhere, and traditional security installations requiring external fixings or visible cable routes may require planning permission; wireless alternatives can often reduce or avoid that, and we check the position early.

Whatever the specific challenges of your estate and area, the starting point is the same: a free survey, a written assessment, and an honest conversation about what your buildings need and what it will cost.
