About

St John's ward occupies a central position within the historic city of Lichfield, situated to the west of the city centre and cathedral. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing types from Victorian terraces to more modern developments. Its streets are quiet, with local shops and schools serving the community. The ward includes the grounds of the former St John's Hospital, which contribute to its green spaces.

A key feature is the presence of St John's Street, a thoroughfare that leads directly towards the city's historic core. The area is bounded by the Birmingham Road to the north and the railway line to the south, defining its urban footprint. Residents have convenient access to the wider city amenities while maintaining a distinct neighbourhood atmosphere. The local parish church of St John the Baptist, with its medieval origins, stands as a focal point in the ward.
