Minutes:
The Cabinet Member for Environmental Services introduced the report and advised that charges would broadly increase by 5%, which was less than inflation. There would be some discrepancy with the discretionary services such as the crematorium and bereavement services which would be increased following market rules and be decided by the manager of the business. With these there would be steep increases at some points and none at other times.
The report contained the incorrect figures for fixed penalty notices for waste crime as a decision had recently been taken to increase those. The uplifted figures would be provided to Cabinet when agreeing the fees and charges.
A concern was raised that there had been no opportunities in the consultations for local residents to state that they would want an increase in services.
RESOLVED: To
- Note
the contents of the report;
- Recommend to the Cabinet that the Fees and Charges as detailed
in Appendix A to the report with the updated figures for fixed
penalty notices for waste crime be approved; and
- Note the Fees and Charges Policy as detailed in Appendix B to the report.
