E XECUTIVE SUMMARY The importance of statutory services Statutory services are those services which the Council must provide. All statutory services included in the Lichfield District Council consultation were regarded as important by the majority. However, universal services including waste and recycling and rubbish/fly-tipping were the services which were considered the most important by all. Unpalatable changes to these services would be unpopular with residents and any changes to these services would therefore need careful consideration. An awareness of the relative importance of these services will be a key consideration in the decision making processes ahead. Other universal provision, for example website and customer services, were also regarded as important, but relatively less so in comparison to the Council’s other statutory services. These services may present opportunities to explore different ways of provision which are more efficient, effective and meet customer needs. For example, more information could be included on the website to encourage a behavioural shift to web rather than face to face and telephone contact. Further exploration of the potential for telephone and face to face contact to be tailored to times when residents need them most, could be beneficial. The provision of discretionary services The Council also provides a wide range of discretionary services and these are the ones which the Council chooses to provide. Respondents were keen to protect the brown bins and composting. If this service were to be stopped or reduced comments suggest that there would be concerns that this might lead to problems of fly-tipping or mixing garden waste in household refuse. There were however other services which could be reduced or stopped with a lesser impact. The most noticeable of these was the Intouch magazine. This received most support for being reduced/cut. It was however, a more popular method of communicating with older residents aged 75 and above and any changes to this service would impact most on this age group. The use of leisure and amenity services The majority of respondents (96%) have used at least one leisure or amenity service within the district. Facilities in Lichfield including car parks, toilets and the Garrick were used most frequently. Regular use of the leisure centres and toilets/car parks in Chasetown and Burntwood was however relatively low. Ideas to generate income Respondents were supportive of Lichfield District Council’s ideas to generate income. Most support was provided for charging for parking in Chasetown and paying for events for example the Lichfield Proms. Respondents were largely unsupportive of charges for emptying the brown bins Residents aged 55 and above and disabled residents were least supportive of these charges. Evening charges for parking in Lichfield were also unpopular. Respondents comments illustrated that charges could “put people off” coming into Lichfield in the evening and “stop people visiting Lichfield restaurants, pubs or the Garrick Theatre”. Ideas to save money Stopping the chairman’s car/driver and reducing the number of district councillors were the money saving ideas which received the most support. Respondents were however clear that street cleaning and the monitoring of dog fouling should not be considered for money saving initiatives. General efficiency and less waste in the provision of all services was supported and evidenced through respondents’ comments. Respondents also provided additional ideas which could help the Council to reduce costs/save money. These included involving communities in service delivery and using volunteers, the third sector, and alternative providers where these provided better value for money. 4 2.1 INTRODUCTION Lichfield District Council spends more than £10 million annually delivering a range of public services from leisure centres and planning to emptying bins, providing benefits and supporting local businesses. Due to cuts in funding from national government, the District Council need to make savings. To achieve this, District Councillors face some tough decisions about what services should be continued, what can be cut or reduced and whether some services could become chargeable to raise more income. Residents of the Lichfield District play a key role in shaping the decisions which Councillors face and as such residents were invited to participate in the Fit for the Future consultation. The consultation was an awareness raising exercise to inform residents about the work which Lichfield District Council does. It also provided an opportunity to help people understand relative spend and comment on which services matter the most, how additional income could be raised and to share ideas on new ways to reduce costs. The report should be used to inform service reviews and business cases. It should not be used as a mandate to cut, change or charge for specific services. This report has been produced by Staffordshire County Council on behalf of Lichfield District Council. It summarises and analyses the Fit for the Future consultation responses and is structured into key sections. These cover the importance of statutory services, views on discretionary services, usage of leisure and public amenities, ideas to generate income and ideas to save money. Results are analysed by key themes and demographics where these are relevant and robust. 2.2 METHODOLOGY A Member Working Group was established in the Autumn of 2013 to progress thinking and planning for delivering a robust, informative consultation. This was supplemented by Lichfield District Council’s Consultation Working Group who were responsible for the delivery of the consultation. Members played a vital role in shaping the consultation through the Member Working Group. The methodologies used to capture views in the consultation have been diverse. Electronic and paper surveys were developed by the Consultation Working Group. These were piloted with Voluntary Voice and discussed with partners on the Lichfield District Board before going live. The electronic version was published on the District Council website and the postal version included a freepost reply and was distributed to the majority of homes in the district through the Intouch magazine. Members widely promoted the consultation via their links and networks. Paper copies of the survey were also made available from customer outlets provided by the District Council and its partners e.g. Support Staffordshire Lichfield and District. The Market Research Company Qa, were also commissioned to undertake street interviews with residents living in the Lichfield District. These were conducted towards the end of the consultation period and were targeted to rural areas and residents under the age of 55 and above the age of 75. These groups were targeted because they had been identified as lower responders in the early consultation results. 5 1148 responses were received to the consultation overall. 321

Projects Identified as Important to the Parish, to be Pursued by the Parish Council, Through Various Funding Sources Including Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) 53 2 1 Background to the Plan 1.1 The Localism Act 2011 promoted neighbourhood engagement in the planning process. It introduced a new kind of Plan, called a Neighbourhood Development Plan (or Neighbourhood Plan, for short), that could be prepared by Parish Councils. One of the key aims of the legislation is to enable people to contribute to the long term development of their own community. A Neighbourhood Plan can make a real difference to how development is carried out in the Parish, because once it has been through all the stages of preparation and been “made” (adopted) by Lichfield District Council (LDC), it becomes part of the District’s Development Plan, alongside the LDC Local Plan. Its planning policies will therefore be used in the decision-making process when planning applications within the Parish are considered by the Local Planning Authority. This Neighbourhood Plan supports the delivery of strategic policies contained in the Lichfield District Local Plan in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 para 13.

It is a reminder akin to the warning which returning victorious Roman generals had to hear, namely that they were still only human. When we started this great project over two decades ago it was very difficult to get those in authority to listen. It was often harder to persuade a sceptical public that it was a worthwhile and viable scheme, especially for a group of volunteers with little or no money. Thus we embarked on a gruelling “hearts and minds” exercise which was always frustrating and often fruitless. Yet, little by little, we made some headway and the sceptical and indulgent smiles gave way to polite attention and even encouragement.

Apologies for Absence 2. Declarations of Interest 3. Minutes of Previous Meeting 3 - 12 4. Community Governance Review (Verbal Presentation by the Director of Transformation & Resources – Mr Neil Turner) The district council is, from time to time, required to undertake a Community Governance Review. A Community Governance Review helps ensure that parish councils clearly represent identifiable local communities, that their members reflect the communities that they serve, that residents are equally represented on their council, and that good, efficient local government is promoted. A Community Governance Review has the power to establish or group parish councils, to alter the boundaries of parishes, to create or amend ward boundaries within parishes, and to increase or reduce the number of parish councillors. The council intends to undertake a Community Governance Review of the district and this is our first opportunity to discuss how we intend to approach this work and how we hope to involve parish councils and members.

  • Hammerwich Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2040
    HAMMERWICH NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2040 EVIDENCE BASE DOCUMENT March 2021 Introduction This document accompanies the Hammerwich Neighbourhood Plan. It does not form part of the Plan itself. Within the Neighbourhood Plan there are numerous references to evidence-base documents that have been used to underpin and justify its Policies. In some cases, only short quotations from these sources are required, and these have been integrated into the text accompanying the Policy. However, in other cases, longer extracts from the evidence-base source are required to support the Policies, but clearly incorporating these into the main Plan document would make the latter unwieldy and difficult to navigate. These extracts are therefore reproduced in this document, with a cross-reference to the relevant place(s) in the Plan. Contents Parish Survey 2014 3 Planning Practice Guidance - Travel Plans, Travel Assessments and Travel Statements 10 Extract from Lichfield District Council Rural Settlement Sustainability Study 2016 11 Lichfield District Council Open Space Assessment November 2016 12 Lichfield District Council - Burntwood, Hammerwich & Wall Local List Proposals 2019 17 Historic Environment Character Assessments – Staffs County Council - February 2009 23 Parish Survey results on how well the Parish is served by educational facilities 33 2 Parish Survey 2014- References throughout Plan The main source of information on what the local people of Hammerwich want for their Parish, and what they believe are the most important characteristics of the area where they live, is the Parish Survey. This was conducted in 2014. Full detail of how it was undertaken, and who was consulted, is set out in the Consultation Statement, another document that accompanies the main Neighbourhood Plan.

Introduction This report has been prepared by the Conservation and Urban Design Team at Lichfield District Council to gain approval for the addition of buildings and structures onto Lichfield’s register of buildings of special local interest. It is intended that this will be the first report of a rolling programme of reports to be presented to the Council until all areas of the district have been reviewed. 1.1 Background to the Lichfield District Council Local List Currently Lichfield District Councils Local List only covers buildings within some of the 22 designated Conservation Areas. These buildings were assessed at the time that the conservation area appraisals were carried out. However, there are numerous buildings and structures across the district which are locally important, and are currently not identified. Whilst the local listing does not offer the same level of protection as statutorily listed buildings, they do become a material consideration within planning decisions, allowing the opportunity for their local distinctiveness to be taken into consideration through the planning process.

  • Lichfield District Council Election Results 1973-2011
    Lichfield District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
