We are in contact with all known rough sleepers in the district to encourage them into accommodation during the current weather conditions, as part of our severe weather emergency protocol, which is now active. If you are concerned about a rough sleeper who you feel needs help, please call us on 01543 308000 or outside of office hours call 01527 406643. Find out more about our severe weather protocol.

We are sorry but some of our online bin forms are not working including order a replacement bin and order a new bin. We are currently investigating the issue.


Unless your order is urgent, we recommend you wait until we have fixed the issue. We'll remove this banner when the issue is resolved.

 

If your order is urgent, please WhatsApp us 01543 308171 with your request, including your address details.

 

You can still subscribe for garden waste - this form is working. 

We're writing to just under 2,000 residents across the district this week to let them know their bin day or week will be changing from this week onwards. If you receive a letter it will explain exactly what’s happening and what you need to do.

 

These changes will help us rebalance collection rounds, plan for future housing growth, and prepare for the Government’s forthcoming food waste collection scheme. If you have any questions, please WhatsApp our team on 01543 308171 or email waste.strategy@lichfielddc.gov.uk.

 

We're so grateful to you for your support and understanding which helps us to continue to deliver a reliable and sustainable waste service to local homes.

Anyone selling or authorising the selling of alcohol needs a personal licence. A personal licence makes sure that anyone running or managing a business that sells or supplies alcohol does so responsibly.

If you want to run a business that is licensed to sell alcohol you must have a Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS). To be a DPS you must hold a personal licence. 

You do not need a personal licence to be employed in a pub or other business that sells alcohol. The licence holder does not need to be on the premises or oversee every sale, however, we strongly suggest that the Designated Premises Supervisor provides written authorisation for members of staff to sell alcohol in their absence. Premises may have more than one personal licence holder.  

You don't need a personal licence to sell alcohol under a temporary event notice (TEN), but if you do hold a personal licence, the number of TENs you can apply for in a year increases from 5 to 50.

A personal licence has no expiry date and can be transferred between regions and premises. However, you must inform the issuing authority if you need to make any changes to your licence. 

For more information download the licensing act government guidance or read our licensing policy.
