St Albans has a Community Governance Review (CGR) currently under way and this will decide whether the city centre needs a local parish/town council. The second stage CGR consultation runs until February 23 2026. The Civic Society strongly supports provision of a parish council (ie a town/city council) for central St Albans. We believe it would play a key role in protecting the character and heritage of St Albans by influencing decisions made by a unitary authority headquartered elsewhere and by managing some local assets and functions.
Awards
Do you know of a project that might deserve recognition in the Society’s Awards? These can be for new developments, large or small, but could be for a small extension, restored windows on a period property, or a rebuilt wall. Its not just about buildings either. Remember the Society’s Awards cover things that enhance the quality of St Albans environment or amenities and the Trevelyan Award is presented for a conservation project.
Get ready for our call for details of projects that might deserve one of the St Albans Civic Society Awards. Spring 2026 will see the start of our new Awards season so it’s time to start to think what you’ve noticed that’s impressed you and to get ready to share details for the shortlisting team to review. We’re interested in new build and restoration projects and anything that enhances the quality of our city’s amenities, environment or public realm. We’ll confirm the schedule as well as the process when we ask for 2026 nominations.
