People are being asked for their views and feedback from consultations will be used to help Lichfield District Council develop a long-term car parking strategy.

An online questionnaire will form the basis of consultations which close at midnight on March 21.

Councillor Liz Little, cabinet member responsible for economic development, said: "We are looking for as many people as possible to tell us about their experiences of car parking in Lichfield city centre and to give us their views on the level of parking within the city centre, the locations of the car parks, costs of parking and what they like and do not like."

The consultation is one of several planned as part of Lichfield City Centre Masterplan published last year to help shape future growth and improve the quality of the environment as well as providing a guide for future investment.

Development of the Car Park Strategy is being supported from a £70,000 fund awarded this month to the council by the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership.
