Head Appointed for New School Tapping into the Lichfield community to enhance opportunities for pupils is at the forefront of the thinking of Anna Seward Primary School’s new head of school. Richard Storer (pictured) Richard Storer was officially unveiled as the new head at a recent open evening for the free school, which opens in September 2023, and is thrilled at the prospect of leading the school as it begins to establish relationships in the city. Mr Storer has a wealth of senior leadership experience having spent a combined seven years as assistant headteacher and deputy headteacher at Greysbrooke Primary School, also in Lichfield. As well as the school offering the very best opportunities for children to thrive in the classroom, Mr Storer believes the vibrant Lichfield community provides the ideal chance for the school to form partnerships which will enhance experiences and life skills for its pupils. Applications for places at Anna Seward have opened and more information can be found at https://annaseward.atlp.org.uk. ....................................................................................... Century Celebrations for Care Resident Celebrations have been in full swing at the Spires Care Home, as one of its residents reaches her centenary in style. Helen Turner was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she received a telegram from the King in recognition of her landmark birthday. A champagne reception was held with all of Helens family at the home and guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by the home’s chef Polly Holmes. Among those relatives attending was Helen’s sons Geoff, Keith and Peter who played hosts for the afternoon to lots of guests. The Spires care home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering personalised care across its care homes and hospitals. The Spires provides residential care and dementia care for 70 residents from respite care to long term stays. New Car Park Payment Machines New payment machines at The Friary Car Park in Lichfield are being installed to make parking more convenient for customers. The facility on The Friary, which is currently pay and display, is being changed to a pay on exit system with the help of ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) technology. As customers drive into the car park the ANPR camera will pick up the Vehicle Registration Number and begin recording the duration of the vehicle’s stay. When returning to the car park to leave customers will simply enter their registration number in the payment machine which will charge them the correct tariff for the period they have been parked. Customers will be able to pay by cash, credit and debit card or use smart devices such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Once payment has been received the barrier will rise as they drive up to exit. .......................................................................................

Advertising Feature Financial Advice will cost you money, but I aim to show you the value of good quality Financial Advice. Have you got cash sitting in the Bank or Building Society earning you very little interest? Are you concerned about inflation eroding the value of your savings? We could discuss setting up a well-diversified investment portfolio for you. What do you know about your pensions and your pension options? Would you like a free one-hour initial chat with an experienced local Financial Adviser? Our first meeting will be at no cost to you, without any obligation to proceed any further. If you do decide to proceed then the fees for initial and ongoing advice will be clearly explained and agreed with you before any further work is done. Financial Advice will cost money, which can come from the investment, but I hope to be able to demonstrate to you the benefit of good quality professional advice. If you do decide to become a client then you will get a personalised service that matches your needs, whatever they may be, as we are all individuals. I will carry out a full fact find of your circumstances, look at your current plans and policies and discuss with you your priorities, where you want to be financially in the future and how I may be able to help you get there.
