Plans to install new advertising signs on lampposts in Lichfield have been approved.

The six banners are being earmarked for sites along Birmingham Road near the fire station and multi-storey car park.

Each hanging sign would be 2m x 0.8m in size.

Objections had been raised by Lichfield City Council over the “lack of information on the need for them” and concerns over what would be advertised them.

But a planning statement said the signs would not be in place all year round.

> “In general, the banners are used to enhance the visitor experience.  
>  
> “The banners will not be up 365 days a year on all sites and some will contain council messages.  
>  
> “The advertisement will support council priorities such as supporting local businesses, promoting seasonal events and contributing to a positive change in society.”

The application said the sites – which follow [previous planning applications](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/plans-approved-for-advertising-banners-on-lampposts-in-lichfield/) elsewhere in Lichfield – had been chosen due to their location on a key route.

> “These particular sites have been suggested due to the significant levels of traffic/footfall that pass near to them, and are adjudged to be the most beneficial to the local businesses wishing to use them to raise awareness of their particular organisations.”
