Wednesday 11 May 2022: The Birmingham 2022 Queen’s Baton Relay is confirmed to visit Cannock Chase District - also the venue for the mountain biking event - during its final journey through England this summer, as the full route is revealed.

With work progressing behind the scenes to turn the £20 million Levelling Up Fund allocation for Cannock town centre into reality, a new survey has been launched to capture residents` perceptions of the town centre as it appears now.

The perception survey follows a virtual public consultation exhibition that appeared on the Council’s website asking for views on leisure and culture in the town centre, connectivity, and the potential for business and skills workspaces. That received 231 responses.
