1 Lichfield City Mapping
A 2km radius from the post code WS13 6JW has been set for the locality analysis which
includes the whole of Lichfield city centre. The post code, which falls on Tamworth Street,
Lichfield, was chosen as it is a central point of the radius.

Note: Three LSOAs (E01029488, 508, 509 and 530) which are on the periphery of the 2km
radius have their largest geographical part and majority of population outside the analysis
area. They are not included in this analysis as their impact on the Lichfield demographic
and deprivation characteristics are minimal.
Within a 2km radius of Lichfield city centre there are 3 LSOAS where the number of
people aged 50 - 64 plus falls within the highest quintile. One of these is just to the
south of the city centre.
There are a further 7 LSOAs within the 2km radius where the number of people aged
50 - 64 falls into the second highest quintile. These LSOAs are located across more
residential areas including Boley Park, Leomansley and Nether Stowe and suggest a
moderate number of people in this age group. These can be seen in the graphic
above in orange.

GIS Locality Analysis: The City of Lichfield Page 111.3 Lichfield Locality Analysis
Lichfield is a civil parish with city status and is the principal settlement of Lichfield District.
Lichfield District Council states in its ‘Economic Development Strategy 2016 – 2020’ that
“The City of Lichfield is an important historic centre, with a major conservation area based
around the Cathedral, a medieval street pattern and historic city centre buildings. As well as
being a popular visitor destination, it is an important centre for jobs, services and facilities
and housing”.1 The historic nature of the city means that some streets in the central retail
area are cobbled however most of these are modern cobbles so are not uneven and may
not affect the accessibility of services and facilities for people with limited mobility.
There are two recent build housing estates in Lichfield: the large housing estate at Boley
Park in the south east of the city was constructed during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and
Darwin Park to the south west of the city centre was developed in the 2000s.
Lichfield has two train stations: Lichfield City Centre and Lichfield Trent Valley Station.

GIS Locality Analysis: The City of Lichfield Page 12Lichfield’s bus station is located to the south of the centre on Birmingham Road,
approximately 220m from the shopping areas on Bore Street. Arriva Midlands, Diamond
Bus and Midland Classic all operate services from the station. The 821 and 822 are the
circular town services which run up to every 30 minutes throughout the day to late
afternoon.
Full details of Lichfield and Rugeley Route Maps and Timetables can be found on the
Staffordshire County Council website.
Taxi services
There are numerous taxi services operating within city centre according to yell.com. Taxi
ranks are located outside Lichfield City Station and near to the junction of Tamworth Street
and Lombard Street, however we do not have information on their operating hours.
Community Transport
Lichfield and District Voluntary Car Scheme, operated by Support Staffordshire, provides
transport for people who need to make essential journeys but have no other transport and
are unable to access public transport. It is available for people who pay their council tax to
Lichfield District Council. It will provide journeys for the purposes of:
Medical appointments
Personal business
Visiting friends/relations in hospital
Social events.
Some voluntary sector groups who focus on the needs of specific client groups have access
to their own minibuses.
Supermarkets
It has been assumed that larger supermarkets will enable people to access all of their food
shopping needs. A corner shop, express or convenience store will only partially meet
people’s needs, will potentially be more expensive and be used more for top up shopping
rather than full shops.
There are 10 large or medium sized supermarkets within a 2km radius of Lichfield centre
with a good spread in the centre and to the north of the city. Access to supermarkets is
more restricted in the area to the south of the centre between Boley Park residential estate
and Sandfields.

Co-op WS13 7QG appears to be outside a reasonable walking distance for an older
independent individual from a bus service.
Three of the larger stores are located centrally to the area, and there is good access
to medium and large stores to the north of the analysis area, which have bus stops
within acceptable walking distances with regular and frequent services.
There is more limited access to supermarkets in the south of the analysis area, as the
bus services which serve Waitrose and the Co-op WS14 9XU store are less frequent
(around every 2.5 hours for the Waitrose store and every hour for the Co-op store).
There is no access to supermarkets between Boley Park and Sandfields.
Post Offices
Using information from postoffice.co.uk and the manual mapping tool it appears there are 4
post offices within the 2km radius.
25 – 27 Bakers Lane, Lichfield WS13 6NF
46 – 48 Wheel Lane, Lichfield WS13 7EA
4 Boley Park Shopping Centre, Lichfield WS14 9XU
17 Eastern Avenue, Lichfield WS13 6TE
Of these, the Bakers Lane post office is above an acceptable walking distance of a bus stop,
and Wheel Lane, Boley Park and Eastern Avenue are all within acceptable walking distance
for an older independent person of the nearest bus stop.
GP Surgeries
There are 3 GP practices located within the 2km radius:

The Westgate Practice is located close to the town centre, and the Langton Medical Group
and Darwin Medical Practice are in residential areas to the north of the city centre. There
appears to be limited access to GP surgeries in the south of the city, in the large Boley Park
residential estate and Sandfields. The Langton Medical Group has disabled car parking
spaces and wheelchair access facilitated by lowered kerbs and lowered desks in the
reception area. The Westgate Practice has disabled car parking according to the NHS
website. The Darwin Medical Practice has wheelchair friendly parking spaces.
Two of the practices are within acceptable walking distance of a bus stop with a regular and
frequent service, and the third practice, the Langton Medical Group, is not considered
accessible by public transport as the nearest bus stop is served by twice daily services which
operate during school term time only.

have bus stops with frequent services within an acceptable walking distance for an
independent older person. Four of the practices are located close to the city centre. There
is more limited access to dentists in the north of the city and in Boley Park.

Access to Leisure and Recreational Opportunities
Lichfield has a vibrant and diverse retail area, centred on Bore Street, Market Street, Dam
Street and Bakers Lane. There is a wide range of shops which includes butchers and
bakeries, and services such as hairdressers as well as many cafes, restaurants and pubs.
General markets are held on the Market Square on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Farmers markets are held on the first Thursday of the month.
GIS Locality Analysis: The City of Lichfield Page 21The area around the market place and the corner of Market Street, Bore Street, and Conduit
Street (where many of the banks are located) is around 280 metres from the nearest bus
stops on The Friary, which is above an acceptable walking distance for an independent older
person. Access to these areas from the bus station is also restricted, with distances from
the bus station (via Tudor Row) to Bore Street of 214 metres, to Market Street of 306m and
the corner of Conduit Street and Bore Street of 321m.
As Lichfield Library is situated on the Market Square access to it from the nearest bus stops
will be above reasonable walking distances for older people as described above.
The Garrick Theatre on Castle Dyke hosts visiting performances and makes its own
productions. It is 125 metres from the bus station.
The Boley Park residential area to the south of the city centre has a small retail area on
Rynkild Street which includes a medium sized supermarket, a newsagent’s shop, a café and
a pub, post office, community centre and a petrol station.
There are four community centres within the analysis area:
Curborough Community Centre in the north of the analysis area, which is used by
many groups including Live at Home Lunch and Friendship Groups, bingo, Friends 2
Friends. This appears to be above a reasonable walking distance for an independent
older person from a bus stop.
Boley Park Community Hall is located next to the Co-op supermarket and post office
in the retail area of Boley Park residential estate, and it is in easy walking distance of
a bus stop. Yoga and Pilates classes are held here as well as an exercise class for

Pilates, yoga and faith groups. It appears to be above a reasonable walking distance
for an independent older person from a bus stop.
A large variety of groups including yoga and tai chi meet at Martin Heath Hall on
Christchurch Lane, to the south of Beacon Park, which is 341m from the nearest bus
stop and therefore above an acceptable walking distance for an independent older
person.
Friary Grange Leisure Centre is situated on Eastern Avenue on the north side of the city,
approximately 2km metres north of the town centre. It is not considered to be accessible by
bus as the service stops approximately 276 m from the leisure centre and is served only by
twice daily term time services. It has a swimming pool and a range of fitness activities
including 50+ aerobics, gentle circuits and aqua aerobics.
Lichfield has several centrally located parks and other open green spaces including Minster

basic banking services within acceptable walking distance of a bus stop for an
independent older person.

supermarkets in Boley Park and Sandfields is more restricted as there are fewer
facilities served by less frequent bus services.

supermarkets. There is good access by public transport to pharmacies across the city
