Fees and charges made by the Council for various services are reviewed on an annual basis by the relevant Committees relating to the services provided. During the municipal year Chairs of the relevant committees deferred the proposed fees and charges pending further review of the proposed charges considering the current economic climate and the increase in inflationary costs. Officers alongside chairs have reviewed and revised the fees and charges since they were deferred, and they are being brought in totality to the Policy Resources and Economic Development committee for approval. Recommended amendments to the fees and charges are incorporated into the budget setting process to take effect from the following financial year.

An updated version of Appendix D is appended to the minutes and was what members used to vote on. 

After a full discussion, Cllr Hossack MOVED and Cllr Parker SECONDED the recommendations in the report. A vote was taken and it was RESOLVED.

Members are asked to:

R1. Agree to the proposed charges for 2022/23 as attached in Appendix A-E and recommend for approval at Ordinary Council on 23rd February 2022.

Reasons for Recommendation

Officers review fees and charges annually and this will be used to inform the 2022/23 budget setting process.
