City of St Albans

My third proposed borough is centred around the town of Hemel Hempstead and the city of St Albans. Both of which are in Hertfordshire, form part of the Greater London Built-up Area and lie just outside the M25. This is the last potential Borough with any part in Hertfordshire and includes large parts of the current Dacorum and City of St Albans districts. I propose that the remainder of these districts merge along with that sliver of Three Rivers outside my proposed boroughs form a new West Hertfordshire district. To prevent a thin peninsula other parts maybe annexed to the Welwyn-Hatfield district.

I named this the City of St Albans rather than the London Borough of Hemel Hempstead and St Albans because St Albans is a city and other cities in London like Westminster use a similar naming scheme. Below is a picture of the proposed borough which also shows the boundaries of the previous two boroughs I proposed. I estimate the population of this potential borough to be 190,000.

Towns and Villages included in the Borough:

St Albans,  Hemel Hempstead, Kings Langley, Bedmond, How Wood, Park Street, Chipperfield

Notable things about the area:

Hemel Hempstead's Magic Roundabout.
Hemel Hempstead was voted the ugliest town in Britain.
The Buncefield fire took place in Hemel Hempstead in 2005 and was the largest peacetime explosion in Europe.
St Albans Cathedral.
The Clock Tower and the remains of the roman wall in St Albans.
St Albans is often voted one of the best places to live in the country.
