A cleaner district campaign

The cleaner district campaign is part of the council's drive to keep St Albans district clean and green.

Everyone is encouraged to get involved and use the hotline and e-mail reporting system. Council staff are reporting grot spots they see while out and about in the district. Residents, business people and visitors can do the same.

We want you to help us. Together we can improve the district.
