Fees and charges made by the Council for various services were reviewed on an annual basis by the relevant Committees relating to the Services. 

Recommended amendments to fees and charges were incorporated into the budget setting process to take effect from the following financial year.

A motion was MOVED by Cllr Parker and SECONDED by Cllr Bridge to approve the recommendations in the report. 

A vote was taken by a show of hands and it was RESOLVED that:

1.    The proposed fees and charges attached in Appendix A, B and C are agreed and incorporated within the 2018/19 budget. 

2.    The members agree to reduce the period of time for an Exclusive Right of Burial (ERB) from 100 years to 50 years. 

Reason for recommendations

The recommendation was to increase charges by 3% (rounded to the nearest pound) plus the exceptions detailed within the report.  The changes would make a small contribution to the subsidised services provided by the Council and aiming to recover the cost of the services being provided.
