Becoming Hertfordshire’s Premier Community Towards an outstanding St Albans City and District People in St Albans city and district know what a great place it is in which to live. It is attractive and prosperous, with a well-educated population, good housing and a strong sense of community. The challenge facing St Albans City & District Council is to protect and enhance our heritage and environment while offering direction and leadership as the district develops and changes to meet new economic opportunities. The council is committed to improving the quality of life for everyone in the area through its facilities and services, while pursuing its ambition to make St Albans city and district a truly outstanding place in which to live, work and to visit. This is the first time the council has produced a three year medium term corporate plan, which sits within the overall long term vision and aims of the council. It is important that the council plans ahead so the budget can be set for the next few years to let staff and local residents know what is going to be delivered. In identifying our priorities for action over the next three years, we have relied heavily on feedback from local residents and organisations. This Corporate Plan sets out those priorities, and explains exactly what we will do to achieve them. 1 Historic St Albans District becoming Hertfordshire’s premier community Our vision To preserve and enhance the distinctive character of St Albans City and District, making it an outstanding place in which to live and work and to visit, where everyone enjoys a range of quality and efficient services in a progressive, caring and environmentally concerned community.
