Give your views

In Southern and Mid Staffordshire, six councils (including Lichfield District Council) are exploring plans to create a new, single council that would deliver all your local services: from bin collections and street cleaning to schools, roads, and care services.

Please read this explainer section before taking the survey.

We are exploring the best options and will continue to work on a preferred proposal prior to final submissions in November 2025 that delivers on the government’s criteria, whilst also meeting our guiding principles.

No final decision has been made yet.

We want to make sure Local Government Reorganisation is done right. So, we would like to know what you think about the services that are important to you.

  • What local services matter most to you?
  • What should a new council do differently?
  • How can we make sure your community is represented and supported?

Your feedback will help us shape the proposals we present to government later this year. 

The survey only takes a few minutes, have your say - give your views no later than Monday 1 September 2025.

Other opportunities to engage will be added to and updated on this page.
