What Hugh's actively working on locally
A decent bus station
Lichfield needs a decent bus station – current plans fail to: ♦ provide enough bus stops, though villages round the district are expanding, meaning more passengers into the city ♦ allow space for coach set-down and pick-up points ♦ provide toilets for passengers and travellers ♦ give passengers dry comfortable waiting areas ♦ provide a welcoming aspect to visitors to the city
