Lichfield District Council - Information | Policing and public safety (156 words) |
 | Lichfield District Council works in partnership with agencies across the district and county to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour as well as reduce the fear of crime. |
| Last year we took part in a wide range of partnership initiatives that contributed to a reduction in recorded crimes, burglaries, vehicle crime, business crime and nuisance behaviour. |
| We want people who live, work and visit the district to feel safe and secure and able to enjoy all it has to offer, and we're working hard to keep it this way. |

City of Lichfield (552 words) |
| The first authentic notice of Lichfield occurs in Bede's history, where it is mentioned as the place where St Chad fixed the episcopal see of the Mercians in 669. |
| At the time of the Domesday survey, Lichfield was held by the bishop of Chester, where the see of the bishopric had been moved in 1075: it is not called a borough, only a small village. |
| Lichfield sent two members to the parliament of 1304 and to a few succeeding parliaments, but the representation did not become regular until 1552; in 1867 it lost one member, and in 1885 its representation was merged in that of the county. |
