A new strategy for the future of of the district over the next 25 years will be “bold” in its aims, a council chief has said.

The [Lichfield District 2050 document](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/content/files/democracy-lichfielddc-gov-uk/documents/s17963/appendix-b-lichfield-district-strategy-2050.pdf) has outlined four key areas of activity in the period covered – creating confident, prosperous, active and greener communities.

A report by Cllr Doug Pullen, leader of Lichfield District Council, said the new vision would be a switch from previous plans drawn up by the local authority.

> “A strategic plan should act as the ‘golden thread’, allowing all members of staff and councillors to see the role they play in delivering against the agreed priorities.  
>  
> “The council is a very different Council to the one that agreed the last strategic plan in Spring 2020.  
>  
> “Lichfield District 2050 Strategy is a significant departure from previous strategic plans. It deliberately seeks to set a different tone, to be a strategic plan for the whole district, not just Lichfield District Council.  
>  
> “We cannot deliver the ambitions set out in the strategy on our own – it will require us all  
> working together, partners, businesses, residents and the council.  
>  
> “It also takes a longer-term view, rather than the normal four-year, medium-term view. This is to reflect that many of the opportunities and challenges we face do not start and end in a political term, but require long-term commitment and focus.  
>  
> “The strategy is unapologetically aspirational and bold.”  
>  
> Cllr Doug Pullen

Members of the cabinet will debate the Lichfield District 2050 draft at a meeting this evening (9th April) before the recommendation to adopt the plan goes to full council next week.

Cllr Pullen added:

> “The Lichfield District 2050 strategy clearly sets out our vision and ambitions for the district.  
>  
> “Through extensive engagement we have developed a Strategy that is bold, aspirational and will create a future that we can all be proud of.”
