New comparative figures reveal St Albans as a local authority that offers many excellent services at a value for money cost. The PI league tables cover councils throughout the country. And the council offers free garden waste collection which is not the norm in the rest of Hertfordshire.
Some services are top performers in the county.
Again the council performance is above average. While some services are consistently high achievers, other services have significantly improved their annual performance. The average time taken to re-let council homes dropped from 5.1 weeks to 4. 4 weeks to put St Albans above average in the English district league.
