Burntwood Action Group

This letter has been sent to Lichfield District Council in response to the new Lichfield District Core Strategy Policy Directions April 2009 document. We believe that this letter can represent all of our Local Residents and in doing so confirms and preserves the acceptable position we have achieved from the previous consultation process. It is the committees belief that there is no merit in residents answering the LDC yes/no questionnaire as that exercise does not cover the core issues relating to future building in Burntwood & Hammerwich.

We would encourage any individual residents who may wish to write directly to the LDC to do so.  BAG continues to represent the Burntwood Area in opposing Green Belt Development and any resident is welcome to comment or contribute to our cause via this webpage.

Many thanks to everyone who attended the Burntwood Action Group Open Evening on April 29th. The event detailed our achievements so far and future directions. The night was attended by approximately 60 residents and was a great success, although it would have been nice to share the evening with more local people.

The first part of the evening was in the form of a Powerpoint presentation by the Groups spokesman Michael Bate, who outlined what the group had achieved to date and thanking all the residents for their continued help and support. Burntwood Action Group is a residents group and its adherents to date in fighting development on our Local Green Belt land had been very significant. We take this opportunity to thank you all again. Although the fight is far from over and continued vigilance is required. Your committee will continue to monitor the position on your behalf and keep you informed.

We were entertained during the second part of the evening by local Historian Ron Bradbury who gave us a wonderful insight into the history of Burntwood.
