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.”
Cllr Steve Norman, Lichfield District Council
