  • Annual Report 2019/2020
    Lichfield City Council Donegal House, Bore Street, Lichfield, WS13 6LU Annual Report 2019-20 Tel: 01543 250011 Email: [email protected] Website: www.lichfield.gov.uk Twitter:@lichfield_cc ANNUAL REPORT – OVERVIEW 2019/20 began as another full year for the City Council. As detailed in this report, a number of notable projects were undertaken, together with a full civic diary incorporating the City‟s traditional events, alongside the more general operations of the council such as acting as a consultee on all planning applications submitted within the City boundary. The Guildhall continued to be a very popular venue for weddings, wedding receptions and concerts as well as for our many regular commercial hirers. The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum enjoyed its most successful year in terms of visitor numbers, and Nick Burton, the City Council‟s Open Spaces Officer, played a pivotal role once again in the „Bloom‟ competition that resulted in a „gold‟ award for the third consecutive year. The City Council allocated a considerable percentage of its Community Infrastructure Levy to various projects and improvements that will have a positive impact on the City; further CIL allocations will be made during 2020/21. The City Council also provided more than £27,000 of grants to local good causes during its annual grants programme. With 28 councillors and just 14 full-time equivalent staff, the City Council is the smallest of the three local authorities serving the City area. The budget set by Council for the 2020/21 financial year is based on a precept of £67.41 for a Band D property and totals £817,890.

  • Ramc Reunited Newsletter July 2019 Edition
    RAMC REUNITED NEWSLETTER JULY 2019 EDITION 121st CELEBRATION OF RAMC CORPS DAY Di Donnelly has placed the video of the March Past and pictures that were taken at the 121st Celebration of RAMC Corps Day into the RAMC Association Facebook Group. These I have extracted for the Newsletter readers to share. “Here's the video, along with a few photos from today's parade. I'm absolutely over the moon, what a fantastic day. Our brand new branch, Chorley, had their new Standard dedicated, and it was carried by the branch Standard Bearer Elaine Gould, also new standards for Northern Ireland and Maidstone were dedicated. I went outside after the service to take photos and it seemed like there wasn't very many people there, although I was certain there were more veterans. But when the band started playing and the parade was under way I realised that there was a great number of veterans marching - in fact I lost count of how many - I think there were 36? - see if you can count them? Thank you all for your support. As always, wonderful to see our serving soldiers parading and getting a chance to speak with some of you makes the day perfect. Many thanks to everyone for working so hard to make today's birthday such a memorable one. In Arduis Fidelis!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIlv0ojVZcg&lc=z23cjpogmse0cdlezacdp432fhw2daspvbx 1kqmwetlw03c010c&fbclid=IwAR11yyYUqe4COFFA06tSctbgfAoYoxXAk2OxqgEZnvM- 7VellhdZo-k4sE8 - Waiting for the March Past Commencement of the March Past Standard Bearers outside the Church Colonel Mark Pemberton Representative Colonel Commandant RAMC Inside the Church Church Service Thank you Di.
