Those with links to St Albans are invited to help shape the district council s new equality, diversity and inclusion strategy.
The strategy, which influences many of the council’s major policies and decisions, is being replaced with a new one for 2021.
The council is asking people to have their say by responding to a short online survey which will only take around 10 minutes to complete.
The survey asks people what they would do to improve equality, diversity and inclusion in the district, and gives a space to contribute new ideas that would propel the new strategy.

It was “hi-ho hi-ho” all the way as a collection of ‘elves’ cycled, jogged and walked to work at Otter Garden Centres in Ottery St Mary in memory of their colleague Rob Gillingham who passed away from a brain tumour earlier this year.
They were fundraising for Brain Tumour Support, a charity that helps those affected by any type of brain tumour, not just patients, but also their families, friends and carers.
The 43 team members who took part were met at the garden centre by the big man himself, Santa.
St Albans District Council has completed its £4.8 million project at Wavell House in Cell Barnes Lane. Wavell House was knocked down and has been replaced with 24 homes including 12 two-bed properties, and 12 one-bed homes - all for social rent. The new building, constructed by Harpenden-based Jarvis and supported by a grant of £720,000 from Homes England, has been called Warner House. Some of the new tenants will be existing council tenants who have decided to downsize, freeing up their homes for larger households who may currently be in overcrowded accommodation. Any remaining flats will go to people on the council’s housing register who have been waiting for a new home.
