We have opened a consultation on plans to renew a Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) covering St Albans City Centre.
The order allows the Police to take action against street drinking within the PSPO area as well as any associated crime and anti-social behaviour.
Since March 2026, the Police have used this order to seize alcohol on 122 occasions.
The consultation runs until Thursday 1 Ocotober and all feedback will be considered before any decision is taken on renewal. The current three-year order expires on Tuesday 20 October.

A former St Albans Mayor has presented three life-saving defibrillators to the charity Community First Responders.

Councillor Teresa Heritage raised £4,760 for her charity appeal during her civic year which ended in May this year.

The money has now been used to buy the defibrillators as well as two special manikins for use by trainers to simulate cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Community First Responders are trained volunteers dispatched by ambulance services to provide vital care during the critical first minutes of a 999 medical emergency.

Three properties linked to drug dealing and anti-social behaviour in St Albans District have been served with Closure Orders.

Our Anti-Social Behaviour Team acted after complaints about activities at the homes, gathering evidence before successfully applying to St Albans Magistrates Court for the orders.

It means that anyone entering the properties over the next three months without permission faces prosecution for a criminal offence.

Councillor Sarwar Shamsher, the Council's Lead for Community Safety, said: "I am sure residents will welcome the decisive action. Everyone has the right to feel safe in their home and neighbourhood, and we remain determined to protect vulnerable residents and tackle criminal activity.”
