Lichfield’s MP has welcomed confirmation that HS2 will have to reissue a leaflet after it claimed no changes would be made to the plans regardless of a consultation exercise.
A local councillor says proposals to open up a former railway line as a walkway or cycle path between Lichfield and Burntwood would make Hammerwich a “juicy target” for developers.
Councillors in Lichfield and Burntwood have been told they would “hand the keys to paradise” over to developers if they delayed the Local Plan process.
