In the summer, Lichfield District Council travelled the length and breadth of the district, stopping off at village halls and community centres, to ask local people for their thoughts on local housing, jobs, services, transport and more.
Now the council’s development plans team has compiled the results, it will be re-visiting the areas to ask local people to vote on the main findings - to see if they agree with the results so far and to give their views.
Everyone who comes along will also have the chance to get involved in drawing up plans for their villages - with plenty of felt pens, tracing paper, and tea and coffee!

Councillor Neil Roberts, Lichfield District Council’s Cabinet Member for Development Services, said: “We will use the feedback to help us to shape our proposals for how our rural areas could be improved in the future. This is why it is important that lots of people get involved in the process and have their say.”
