A debate on the new Local Plan for Lichfield and Burntwood was pulled by council chiefs over concerns more needs to be done to ensure climate change targets are met.
A councillor at the centre of a controversy over funding for a tree planting project has been suspended by his own party at Burntwood Town Council – but he says he had already decided to leave the group.
Lichfield District Council has joined other authorities across Staffordshire in a bid to pursue a county-wide deal as part of the Government’s levelling up agenda.
The decision on whether or not a county councillor suspended by the Conservatives remains with the party at Burntwood Town Council will be entirely his own, a group spokesperson has said.
A Burntwood councillor at the centre of a storm over funding for a tree planting project that never took place has been handed a six month suspension by his own party group.
