Lichfield District Council has launched a new on-demand transport service for the villages across Lichfield District.
LinkUp consists of two on demand buses that will provide transport into Lichfield for those who don’t currently have access to public transport.
It’s a value-added service to the current transport network, only it’s a bit like booking a taxi, but you will share your transport with others, just as you would share a bus.
Journeys are £3 each, and can be booked via the dedicated app, online or through calling a dedicated contact centre on 0808 134 6632

Please read this press release sent out this week by the organisers of the Bloodstock Festival and other events at Catton Park. They stress that this vital economic contribution to the area is under threat due to ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly the state of the historic Chetwynd Bridge – the primary access route to Catton Park and its surrounding communities.

There is a proposal to install a pipeline to take treated discharge from sewage works at Measham and Packington in North West Leicestershire to the River Trent. The route of the pipeline is not yet finalised and may no longer be taken along the Mease Valley but be taken to the Tame at Elford; land surveys are currently taking place. Further information will be passed on when we receive it but there has been no consultation with Parish Councils so far.
