A new consultation has been launched in a bid to create a long-term vision for Lichfield and Burntwood.
Lichfield District Council hopes residents and businesses will take part in the Together We initiative.
The Lichfield 2050 survey will encourage people to give their views on how they’d like the region to develop over the coming years.
It will be based around the themes of environment, place, prosperity and health.
Cllr Doug Pullen, leader of Lichfield District Council, said:
“Our aim is to create a bold and exciting vision for the district through collaboration, underpinned by short, medium and long-term goals.
“We can only achieve this if we are aware of people’s views, ideas and priorities so please complete our Lichfield 2050 survey.
“Together we can ensure our wonderful district has the best possible future.”
Cllr Doug Pullen, Lichfield District Council
People can fill in either an in-depth survey or a shorter version with just eight questions.
Details on how to fill in the surveys are available online.
Well I can tell you what’s on Mr Pullen’s agenda.
1. Retirement housing
2. Increasing council tax
3. How he can repurpose unused properties for retirement housing
4. How they need (sorry want) to build another 5000 houses
5. How 1% of those will be affordable
6. How 60% of those will be for retirees
7. How they plan on reducing the number of public services to ‘cut costs’
8. How they plan on using more greenbelt or brownfield sites for more housing
9. Did I mention retirement homes?
Don’t forget more cafes. We already have a new Starbucks on the cards. Yay – another coffee shop….
2050 Survey ! What.
How’s about they start addressing the Problems we have now.
Most reading this will not be around in 2050. Including Doug Pullen.
Another consultation? How many of these have been conducted down the years? They never result in anything positive. How about delivering on the neighbourhood plans ?
I’m still waiting for Doug Pullen to give us an update about this cinema which was promised by the end of the summer and when the city centre master plan improvements will be made? It’s just consultation after consultation but never any action.
Don’t I remember Friasgate being part of a future development? Forward planning? I think not!
Whose bright idea was it to take away the wall by the pool in the Memorial gardens?Isn’t it dangerous for elderly and children,or is it the first sneaky step towards the cycle path that no one wants?.
So instead of a Plan for 2050!!!which surely many of the people of Lichfield will no longer be here.
Let’s address the Bus Station move fiasco, and the proposed conversion of Late Debenhams into a Cinema? …another disaster in the making.
