  • 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.
