Decision details

The Director of Resources and Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report seeking member approval on proposals to increase this Committee’s fees and charges with effect from 1 April 2025. The proposals were the first stage in the review of this Committee’s budget for the forthcoming 2025/26 financial year.

Service Committees were asked to review their fees and charges in order to achieve an overall increase in budgeted income of 2.5% as assumed in the Council’s Budget Forecast. 

Following discussions, the proposed set of fees and charges for implementation from 1 April 2025 had been produced for this Committee for members to consider and were set out in Annex 1 to the report. The proposed fees and charges for this Committee would produce on average a 3.65% increase, based on budgeted demand levels.

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

Approve the level of fees and charges for this committee for 2025/26 as outlined in the report.

Councillor K Barnsley returned to the meeting.
