Leomansley Ward (Lichfield District & City Councils)
Elected to Lichfield City Council in May 2019
Ian Jackson
Ian was your local councillor for Leomansley from
2003 to 2011. He first became politically involved locally as
Chair of the Leomansley Action Group in their then
opposition to development on green belt land. A chartered
management accountant, then still working for an
international distribution company, he criticised Lichfield
District Council's reckless running down of reserves to
subsidise prestige projects long before we had the national
financial crisis. ""The Garrick theatre is a community asset -
but needing an annual subsidy of £250,000 it is also a
millstone round the neck of the local tax payer".
