Lichfield District Council’s community newsletter
Welcome to February's LDC News
January was a busy month which, amongst other things, saw us plant over 3000 trees as part of our Tiny Forests project in partnership with Severn Trent and Earthwatch Europe as part of the celebration of this year's Commonwealth Games.
Look out for details coming soon of our Active Lichfield half term programme that will be launched over the next couple of weeks on social media and via the Active Lichfield website. Later on this month we will also be publishing the feedback and recommendations report from the Local Government Association following our corporate peer challenge review carried out in November.
Lichfield city centre plans to be discussedOn Tuesday (8 February) our Cabinet will discuss plans for making progress on Lichfield's Birmingham Road site through a multi-zone and multi-phased approach including hopes for a mixture of uses on the site, including housing, office space, food & beverage/leisure and a cinema. |
Have your say on changes in Beacon ParkWe would like to hear from you about new uses for 20 acres of Beacon Park. The current golf, foot and disc courses are attracting less than 8,000 usages each year – around 20 per day. We are looking to change what happens in this area of Beacon Park, so more people use it and benefit from it. |
Give us your viewsWe've launched a review of community governance looking at current and future parish level provision across Lichfield District including a consultation for everyone in the district to share their views. The results will help us draw up recommendations for any new or revised community governance arrangements that will be consulted on later in the year. |
Window Wanderland returnsWindow Wanderland is coming back to Lichfield for a second year to transform local streets into a magical outdoor gallery for everyone to enjoy once again. Everyone is welcome and taking part as a Windowmaker is FREE. You can make a display in the window of your flat, house, business, school, nursery, car, shop – or even your front garden. |
Opportunities available for local job huntersWe're supporting South Staffordshire College’s Jobs fair event on Friday 25 February where there'll be opportunities to speak face to face with local businesses who have live job vacancies or apprenticeships. The event is being held at Lichfield College from 10am to 1pm. No need to book, just turn up on the day. |
More financial support for local businessesWe have new grant funding of up to £5000 available for rate paying local businesses in the travel and tourism sector and also for the hospitality, leisure and accommodation sector across Lichfield District to help support businesses affected by Covid restrictions. |
