Councillors will discuss whether to seek accreditation for the quality of the night time economy in Lichfield.

A meeting of Lichfield City Council will discuss the proposals to apply for Purple Flag status.

At present, no town or city in Staffordshire holds the status, with Derby and Ashby-de-la-Zouch the closest places to achieve the status.

A report to a meeting of the city council said:

> “Similar to the blue flag for beaches and the green flag for parks, the purple flag demonstrates that a city or town centre has achieved excellence in managing its evening and night time economy.  
>  
> “Purple Flag is focused on offering a diverse night-time economy, including cultural and arts activities and events that draw in a cross-section of different people.  
>  
> “Both Lichfield District Council and Staffordshire County Council are currently exploring whether there is support from partners to seek a Purple Flag for Lichfield city.  
>  
> “A working group has been created and representatives are sought from as many organisations as possible, all with the shared aim of improving the evening and night-time economy.”  
>  
> Lichfield City Council report

The potential for Purple Flag accreditation will be debated at a meeting of the city council this evening (11th December).
