A member of Lichfield District Council has been told that understanding the location of Burntwood is “very straightforward”.

Cllr David Leytham, Conservative member for Whittington and Streethay, asked a meeting of the local authority’s overview and scrutiny committee for a definition of where the town was.

He told the discussion on Burntwood Town Deal:

> “Define Burntwood – it’s a huge sprawl, and usually we struggle to understand what we mean by that word ‘Burntwood’.  
>  
> “On a map where does it start?”  
>  
> Cllr David Leytham, Lichfield District Council

Cllr Steve Norman, Labour representative for Chase Terrace, said:

> “It’s mostly Burntwood and part of Hammerwich – it’s approximately a 28,000 population.  
>  
> “It’s very straightforward. It’s the parish of Burntwood.  
>  
> “Maps are available.”
