What’s On
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. . See our Local Government Reorganisation page for more on this.
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.
For that reason, our focus for the start of 2026 will be on campaigning for a YES vote for a
parish/town council and working with partners on what we think its future shape and functions should be.
The first events in 2026 were a series of well-attended public meetings across central St Albans and the committee continues to complete follow-up work and to identify events and speakers for the next stages.
What’s On for 2026
Our programme for 2026 started with the Community Governance public meetings programme. These have now concluded other events will be announced shortly.
