  • Lichfield Community Safety Delivery Plan
    Lichfield District Community Safety Delivery Plan 2017 - 2020 Foreword Our aim is to ensure that Lichfield District remains one of the safest places in the county and this Delivery Plan will provide the means by which the community safety priorities highlighted in the 2016 Strategic Assessment can be delivered. Members of our Safer Community Partnership will lead on the delivery of our priority actions, but we cannot make this happen on our own. We hope that partners, stakeholders, local people and communities will take responsibility, demonstrate commitment and make a real contribution to help realise our vision for a safe District. The Partnership has embraced a number of changes over recent years, not least the challenges brought about by the current financial pressures experienced by all public sector organisations. Difficult decisions are having to be made which impact on people's quality of life, so it's important we utilise what funding we do have effectively. Other challenges we need to be mindful of are national and international terrorism and violence which has had a high media profile over recent times, together with the extent of child sexual exploitation (CSE) and Modern Day Slavery (MDS) within our communities. Much more emphasis is being placed on identifying and supporting people, especially young people and children, who are vulnerable to any form of exploitation and radicalisation. The opportunities and threats of social media have also become a major consideration going forward as we need to support local residents, especially young people to use it safely. Community safety is a complex and challenging area of work and we are grateful for the support and enthusiasm of all who are driven to continually improve the quality of life for people who live in the District.

P ETER JUDGMENT 1) The rector and churchwardens of St. Peter’s petition for a faculty to remove from the chancel the current electronic Makin organ together with one set of pews and to install a Bevington pipe organ in their place. For the reasons set out below I have concluded that this Petition must be refused. The Church. 2) The Collegiate Church of St. Peter is a Grade 1 listed building. It is a medieval building but underwent restorat ion work from 1852 to 1865. That work was designed by Ewan Christian and the chancel in its current form dates from that time. Pevsner’s description is that “ the long aisleless chancel and the polygonal apse are entirely by Christian in the style of the la te C13” . The chancel is indeed long. It has a high ceiling, a number of tall windows, and unadorned walls. The pews are carved dating from the Nineteenth Century restoration and they and the choir stalls are arranged in collegiate fashion. The chancel is o f the size and has the appearance of a small Oxbridge college chapel. The Makin organ is at the east end of the south side of the chancel and it together with two speakers associated with it and positioned at about the mid -point of the south wall are the o nly readily apparent recent alterations to the chancel. 3) The archway between the chancel and the nave is taken up with the pipework of the large Willis pipe organ which sounds into the nave.
