Vehicle related anti-social behaviour at Starbucks and the A414 North Orbital Road.

Issued 19 January 2026

We did:
o We have been working on this complex long-term neighbourhood priority with Starbucks, Herts Highways, Herts County Council, local councillors, local residents, Burston Garden Centre and the PCCs office for the past five-and-a -half years.
o Acoustic monitoring technology was installed last year to measure vehicles emitting noise above the legal threshold, funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner. St Albans Neighbourhood officers were the driving force behind the new technology being installed.
The number of reports has dramatically reduced over the past few months.
