Have your say on district's ambitious 2050 vision

Lichfield District Council is seeking your views on a new draft strategy to deliver our shared vision for the district between now and 2050.

Building on the feedback received in last year's TogetherWe big survey, which attracted more than 7,000 public responses, the vision has been shaped for making the district's communities confident, prosperous, active, and green.

The council says its ambition is for Lichfield to become a benchmark for the entire UK, a place against which others are measured and a place to be emulated.

It is calling for further input from residents, businesses, partners, and community organisations before the strategy can be agreed.

The leader of Lichfield District Council, Councillor Doug Pullen (pictured), said: “We have ambitious plans for the district and 'TogetherWe Will' achieve them.

“'TogetherWe Will' isn't just a catchphrase - it's our rallying call for action. We're aiming high: envisioning a Lichfield District that's more confident, more prosperous, more active, and greener by 2050 and together I know we can achieve it.

“Your feedback will help us to prioritise and focus our spending, so it is vital that we get as many people as possible to contribute.”

The draft strategy can be seen on the council's website. Share your thoughts via the short surveys on the site which is open until 7 October.
