> I was delighted to escort David Cameron around the new Falklands Memorial at the Arboretum. David Cameron spent about forty minutes with us, looking at the new memorial and also the new development plans for a stunning new visitor centre at the Arboretum.

Joining them was Councillor Phil Atkins, leader of Staffordshire County Council. The visit also gave Cllr Wilcox the opportunity to talk about Lichfield.

> We also spoke about Lichfield’s development plans and about the significance of the Arboretum to the local community, the region and the nation.
