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/

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…

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!

Back to School Uniform bank


Lichfield City Council’s Back to School uniform bank. Thank you to everyone who donated uniform, and Tesco for letting us have our donation station in your store. And thank you to all of the city councillors, our sheriff, the civic officers and our members for helping run the days. We’ve helped so many families this year with the expensive cost of uniform, and saved lots of uniform from landfill by finding it a new home.

Period Power – in Lichfield


Great to be announced as a #PeriodDignity *city*, thanks to the work of our District and City Cllr Rosie Harvey-Coggins! – with Period Power.

Rosemary Lodge


Our Deputy Mayor, Cllr Claire Pinder-Smith had a fabulous afternoon at Rosemary Lodge Residential Home earlier this week. Wonderful to chat to some of the residents, families, staff and volunteers. Even the brief rain didn’t ruin our afternoon!
