Have you visited the City
Council’s website? It offers a

The right Council…
Lichfield City Council is the ‘parish’
authority for the City and is the smallest of the
three councils serving the City area. Within the
City we deal with local matters such as the
markets, maintenance of open spaces and
churchyards, civic and mayoral events, the
Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum and public
lettings of the Guildhall.
Lichfield District Council (Tel: 01543 308000)
is the larger local authority dealing with such
matters as planning, environmental health,
refuse collection, housing, car parking, arts and
tourism, and leisure services.
Staffordshire County Council (Tel: 0300 111
8000) is the responsible authority for wider
services such as Education, Social Services
and Highways.
