Data table and workings

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.

Prices are in pounds at the time, not adjusted for inflation.

Whole local authority area; not a typical home listing or the budget needed by a first-time buyer.

Provisional estimates can be revised. Historical boundaries follow the exact published source code; no old-code series has been relabelled.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

Local work to follow

Former Debenhams, Lichfield city centre

Former Debenhams cinema and leisure redevelopment

The empty department store is being converted into an Everyman cinema and hospitality space. Extra costs and ownership arrangements require council decisions.

Construction advanced; additional investment proposed · evidence dated 2026-07-06

Responsible body: Lichfield District Council and leisure operators

What the source says: The update says construction is advanced, followed by operator fit-out and an expected spring 2027 cinema opening. A proposed £5.56 million combines completion costs and acquiring full ownership; it is not recorded as an approved grant.

Responsible body: Lichfield District Council

Christian Fields, Lichfield

Christian Fields access and green-space improvements

Responsible body: Lichfield District Council and Lichfield City Council with community partners

What the source says: The March update confirms restoration of the upper staircases and work on the main entrance.

What is still missing

The reviewed local schemes are a selected evidence collection, not a complete council capital programme.

Current service capacity, incomes, waiting lists, school demand and project outcomes need additional verified local evidence before firm claims can be made.

The July proposal for extra cinema investment is not itself proof of approval. The Linear Park’s later planning outcome has not been established.

Project locations have not yet been checked against current ward boundaries. No ward impact is inferred from a city-centre address.

The proposed action sequence is UK Facts analysis, not a council commitment.
