Residents living near the Laburnum Avenue Recreational Area can have their say on the new developments that are being planned for the site.

In September 2022, Cannock Chase Council’s Cabinet approved to spend over £385,000 on improvements to the play area and open space on Laburnum Avenue in Cannock.

Funds are being allocated from Section 106 monies, through the development of housing on nearby land.

Residents living near the park and play area in Wellington Drive have had the opportunity to feedback on the design of the new play area which is due to be completed by May.

In June 2022, Cannock Chase Council’s Cabinet approved to spend £118,000 on refurbishments to the existing play area on the Wellington Drive site.

Significant development has taken place in the Cannock South Ward over the last 10 years.  Therefore, the Council is utilising Section 106 monies from these developments to fund this project.

Following an incident of serious violent disorder, at the Jolly Collier public house in Chadsmoor, Staffordshire Police have made an application to Cannock Chase Council for an expedited review of the Premises Licence.

Staffordshire Police were called to an incident of serious violent disorder at the premises in the early hours of Saturday 25 February 2023. 

This, as well as evidence of serious crime at the premises, has resulted in the police making application for an expedited review of the Premises Licence.
