Promoting our heritage, shaping our future

Founded in 1961 and part of the nation-wide civic society movement, the St Albans Civic Society is a registered charity, number 200330, and a non party-political and non religious organisation, ready to welcome everyone who cares about the future of St Albans.

Our members and our partners work together to keep an eye on the City’s heritage, its buildings and the characteristics that make St Albans a special place to live, work and visit. We share details of what we think works well and what could be better and celebrate best practice through our Awards Programme.

When we identify issues we’re concerned about, we liaise with our local Councillors and Planning Officers and with specialists such as architects, property developers, environmental and sustainability experts and conservationists to press for best ways to preserve our heritage, ensure quality modern building and handle environmental and social impacts.

For details on how to get in touch, how to join us, how we’re organised and for links to some of our partnerships, please see below.
