Council chiefs say they hope a new communications plan will see more people in Lichfield and Burntwood give their views on how taxpayer cash is spent.

Lichfield District Council’s cabinet heard proposals for the *Your Council, Your Budget 2023 – Have Your Say* strategy.

It will form part of a consultation designed to understand local views on where money should be prioritised.

The council has set out a proposal it hopes will see different sections of the community engaging with the process.

> “This year will see tailored communications going out to several key groups.  
>  
> “The communications plan will aim to achieve over 20,000 individual engagements. It will use digital and physical strategies to meet a wide audience.”

At a meeting today (11th July), Cllr Rob Strachan, cabinet member for finance, said he hoped the new strategy would make a difference.

> “We have had some very good qualitative data in the past, although it’s difficult to argue they have been representative in terms of the response rate.  
>  
> “Hopefully the new communications plan will engage more people.”

> Cllr Rob Strachan, Lichfield District Council
