We are inviting residents, businesses, and community groups to help shape the district’s priorities for the year ahead as part of its 2026–2027 budget consultation.
Running until 22 December 2025, the consultation gives everyone the chance to share views on how the council should allocate funding, protect essential services, and invest in local priorities.
Councillor Rob Strachan, Cabinet Member for Finance and Commissioning at Lichfield District Council, said:
“Every year, we make important choices about how to balance our budget while delivering high-quality local services.
“We want residents to understand how council funding works and to tell us what matters most, from keeping streets clean and protecting green spaces, to supporting local businesses and investing in our leisure facilities.
“Your feedback will play a vital role in helping us make decisions that reflect the needs and priorities of our communities.”
Residents can take part in the Budget 2026-2027 Consultation, where they’ll find a short online survey, with details on how the council spends its funding, and details of how to get involved.
Paper copies will also be available across the district. Feedback will help inform the draft 2026–2027 budget, to be presented to Cabinet and Council early next year.
