During Budget Setting Cycle the Council reviews its Fees and Charges for the various facilities and services it operates.

Attached are the schedules of fees & charges which have been RECOMMENDED for approval by the respective spending committees:

a.      Burials Fees & Charges

b.      Public Halls Fees & Charges

c.      Recreation Fees & Charges

The Committee received the proposed fees and charges for 2024-25 which had been recommended for approval by other Council Committees in the meeting cycle.

There was agreement the fees should increase with inflation which was at 6.7% at the time of the reports. Members debated Group 4 hire charges for the Corn Exchange which were introduced earlier in the year and felt that the increase delivered good value when compared to the other hall hire charges.

Resolved:

1.      That, the recommended fees and charges for 2024-25 be approved.
