Each year the CSP consults with the public and local groups on its plans for the coming year. The survey asked for residents' views on whether the Partnership's priorities are correct and for ideas on how to tackle these.  It gave residents an opportunity to share views on crime and anti-social behaviour in the District and to highlight problems that need to be addressed. This survey results feed into the development of action plans for the CSP in the coming year.

St Albans District Council consulted the six traders, who currently trade on St Peter’s Street, on non-traditional market days (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and some Sundays).

Currently, this small number of traders operate under a 'street trading consent’ on non-traditional market days. The council are now considering a proposal to stop issuing any further street trading consents and the current street traders will be able to continue to trade, under the markets umbrella.  There will be no more than 10 traders on these market days. The council believes these changes create equity across all traders no matter which day they trade.
