Good
- Fantastic cathedral www.lichfield-cathedral.org/
- Great city architecture and history www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents.php?categoryID=1106
- Excellent theatre (the Garrick) www.lichfieldgarrick.com
- Location - M6/M6 Toll easily takes you North/South/East/West
- Great train service! (provided Virgin don't wreck it with new timetables)www.lichfield2london.org.uk/petition.php
- Airfield nearby (Tatenhill - www.tatenhill.com)
- Loads of good restaurants (Qmin/Eastern Eye for Indian, Ruby or Lee Garden for Chinese, Thrales for English, Chandlers for brasserie, Pizza by Goli for family Italian, Ma Ma Thai for... well you work it out! http://www.siamcornerthai.co.uk/siamlitchfield.asp)
- A few superb pubs (Queen's Head for top real ale and character, Nelson at Chorley or Plough at Huddlesford for country pubs)
- A nice park (Beacon Park)
- Good festival www.lichfieldfestival.org
- Shops ! Waitrose; M&S Food Hall; Salloways jewellers; Tudor cafe
- and a nice new hospital all of our own...
Not so good
- Awful planning consents in the 80's/90's trashed too much of the City - getting better now
- New build housing density much too high - building problems for the future?
- Too many chains of naff teen alco-pubs and consequent Saturday night problems
- Not enough political challenge to the Council
- Over exposure of our MP, Michael Fabricant, smiling into the camera everywhere
Anyone else have a view?
