This year is what’s known as a fallow year for Lichfield District Council which means we don't have any scheduled elections taking place on 7 May.
Lichfield Spring Food & Drink Festival
Lichfield Food & Drink Festival is returning this spring – and it’s all about flavour, community, and local pride. Taking place throughout the city on Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 May.
Keeping council tax low
We keep around 9% of the council tax you pay to deliver services, including bins, parks, planning, housing support, environmental health and more. The average household will pay 8p more a week towards our services this year.
