A local group calling for a fresh ballot on Brexit has been launched in Lichfield.
The People’s Vote initiative is calling for a second poll to be held based on the updated details around the terms of leaving the European Union.
Now a Lichfield branch of the organisation has been launched, with a first meeting held in December.
The group is planning to have a Brexitometer stall in the city centre on 12th January to canvas current local opinion on the issue.
A spokesperson said: “With the UK seemingly heading towards the likely defeat of Theresa May’s deal or a no deal Brexit there is growing support throughout the country for a second vote to give the electorate a say now that the facts are known.
“We are particularly keen to engage with young people, especially those who because of age were not able to vote in either the 2016 referendum and the 2017 general election.”
The stall will be in the city centre from 10am to 12noon.
