Are you attending a Bonfire Night celebration this November? 🎆

Whether you’re heading to an organised fireworks display or planning to celebrate at home, it’s important to keep safety in mind.

Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service has some simple advice to help everyone enjoy Bonfire Night safely:

• Only buy fireworks from licensed retailers and always follow the instructions on the packaging.
• Stand well back when fireworks are lit and never return to a firework once it has been set off.
• Keep children at a safe distance from fireworks and bonfires. Never let them handle fireworks.
• Never use fireworks if you have been drinking alcohol.
• Be mindful of neighbours, pets and wildlife, as fireworks can be distressing for animals.
• Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose close by in case of an emergency.
• If you’re lighting a bonfire, make sure it is well away from buildings, fences, trees and anything else that could catch fire.

For further advice on staying safe this Bonfire Night, visit the Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service website - link in comments.

When it comes to our budget, not every choice is the same. Some council services are essential or have to be provided by law. We need to make sure there's enough money available to deliver them safely and effectively.

In other areas, we have more choice about what we provide and how much we spend. That's why our budget consultation focuses on the choices we can genuinely make.

Where we have flexibility, we're asking whether you think we should reduce spending, protect current spending or invest more.

We want to understand what matters most to you so your views can help inform the decisions we make. Take part 👉 (link below)

💜 This is what Purple Flag looks like!

And we've now got the official flag and certificate to prove it!

Lichfield is the only city or town in Staffordshire to hold prestigious Purple Flag accreditation – recognising us as one of the safest, most welcoming and vibrant places to enjoy an evening out!🌟

Councillor Janice Silvester-Hall, Cabinet Member for Visitor Economy, Ecology and Climate Change, and Leanne Jones, who runs the Duke of York and The Angel Inn, proudly accepted our official flag and certificate at the recent Purple Flag Awards.

From fantastic pubs and restaurants to culture, entertainment and a warm Lichfield welcome, there's so much to love about our city!

A little extra reassurance can make a big difference 💚

For families supporting someone living with dementia, worrying about a loved one becoming lost can be part of everyday life.

Through our Find My Loved One scheme, we’re funding 2,000 devices to support people living with dementia, Alzheimer’s and other related conditions, as well as their families and carers.

Using an NFC-enabled smartphone, a member of the public or emergency services can access information to help identify the person and reunite them with their loved ones more quickly if they become lost or confused.

Find out how the scheme could help someone you know with the link in the comments.

Together, we are Lichfield District.

🎃 92,000 pumpkins or 330 family cars…

That’s roughly the equivalent weight of the food waste residents across Lichfield District have recycled since July!

Since we introduced weekly food waste collections, you’ve recycled an incredible 461 tonnes of food waste, all diverted from incineration and put to better use.

Your food waste is now being transformed into renewable energy and nutrient-rich fertiliser to help grow more food.

It’s helping us recycle more, too. So far this year, 47% of household waste has been recycled, compared with around 45% at the same point last year. Our new food waste service has played an important part in that improvement.

Following World Food Day on Friday, we want to say a big thank you to everyone who’s embraced the new service ♻️

And with Halloween just around the corner, don’t forget to make the most of your pumpkins! Use the flesh for something delicious and pop any leftover scraps into your food waste caddy.
