Sorting out local flooding


A great bit of casework from Lichfield City Cllr Jacob Marshall about ongoing flooding for the last couple of years. Let’s hope this means Staffordshire County Council will finally sort this issue.

Jacob commented – It is nice to finally get a result for my constituents, but it’s unfortunate that it has taken a Lichfield Live article to spur the County Council into action on this. For two years, residents have been reporting dangerous flooding on this road, raising ticket after ticket, submitting video evidence of near misses and lobbying county councillors. Hopefully they’ll finally fix it this time. https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/2024/10/29/action-being-taken-to-tackle-long-term-flooding-issue-in-lichfield-county-council-chief-says/

Working with Citizens Advice


A great partnership between our MP and citizens advice, to help residents in Lichfield, Burntwood and the Villages the support they need. Please get in touch with Dave Robertson MP to book in for this support. https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/2024/10/19/new-drive-to-make-sure-local-residents-are-receiving-support-they-are-eligible-for/?utm_content=buffercaf2b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

The Work of the Grants Committee

It’s great to support community projects in Lichfield as part of the grants committee at Lichfield City Council. At the last council meeting, grants were approved for Late Night Listeners, Liberty Jamboree, a new blue plaque honouring JL Petit (artist), and Community Speed Watch.

Special Educational Needs


Parents and families across the constituency have reached out to our MP, Dave Robertson, to share their experiences of Special Educational Needs and Disability provisions across Staffordshire. Dave joined other MPs across Staffordshire to write to the County Council Leader to highlight the issue and seek a meeting to find a way to improve the provision for vulnerable young people across the county.

Out and About in Burntwood


Thank you to the lovely people of Morley Road in #Burntwood for the warm reception on the doorstep this lunchtime. Always great to hear from so many people that they’re happy to see their MP out and about. Well done to Dave, Kate, Russ, Ann and Angela!

Out and About in Lichfield


Great day today with some of the Labour4Lichfield team, having a chat with Lichfield residents on the doors about local issues. If there are any issues that either a city or district councillor, or your MP can help with, please get in touch!

Well done to Jacob, Dave (MP), Kate and Liz!

Markets are a wonderful part of Lichfield Life


Cllr Russ Bragger was at Lichfield Markets last Friday, talking to market stall holders about the running of the markets, in his role as chair of the Lichfield City Council’s markets working group.

Our regular Tuesday, Friday and Saturday markets are flourishing as well as the Producer’s market on the first Sunday of the month, the food festivals and the vegan market. Something for everyone!

Lichfield Councillor Surgery


A great Councillors’ surgery today with Cllr Jacob Marshall, Cllr Matt Field and Cllr Colin Ball. Please get in touch if there is any local casework that we can help with! A number of residents came in to get help for local issues. Jacob picked up a bit of casework in his patch from a concerned resident in Leamonsley about a derelict building. If anyone has any other casework we can help with in the area, don’t hesitate to get in touch…

Cllr Jacob Marshall also attended the conference as the delegate for the Lichfield Constituency Labour Party, which meant he was voting on policy on our behalf. He also attended fringe events about education, the care system, Al and planning/development.

Another Successful Back to School Event

After the success of the Back to School Uniform Event in the Guildroom’s, we held a second event at the Social Club, and one alongside the food bank. Our final event has been at Curborough Community Centre. Thanks to all the volunteers who collected uniforms. To those who checked and washed them. To those who stored them, set them out and helped with finding the right sizes. Thanks also to everyone who came to collect a uniform and saved the world’s resources by reducing waste and making good use of good clothing. Brilliant!
