UKIP say they are here to stay in Lichfield and Burntwood, regardless of the result on election day.

The party have been encouraged by the support from local residents for parliamentary candidate John Rackham.
The group have held a regular stall in Lichfield city centre during the election campaign and say there is evidence of an appetite for their policies.
A spokesperson for the party said: “I’d like to say a big thank-you to all who have visited the UKIP stall and given their support – it has been very much appreciated.
“Once the general election is over we will be holding a meeting to discuss the way forward.”
Local activists believe Mr Rackham will prove a popular choice at the polls.
“John Rackham is a Lichfield voice, a voice of common sense and the voice of the voters for political change.
“He is a future politician who will serve you the public rather than the public serving him.”
The candidates standing in the Lichfield constituency in May are:
- Andy Bennetts – Class War
- Michael Fabricant – Conservatives
- Robert Pass – Green Party
- John Rackham – UKIP
- Paul Ray – Lib Dem
- Chris Worsey – Labour
