Issue - meetings

To agree the borough’s fees and charges for 2022/23.

There was a need to review the inflationary increase to fees and charges, following the announcement that inflation was currently at 5.4%.  The Community Wellbeing and Housing Committee had recommended that fees and charges for services that provided for vulnerable people (such as meals on wheels and community centres) not be increased.  A 0% increase for such services had therefore been included in the proposed detailed budget.

The Committee recommended that the Fees and Charges for 2022/23, as set out in appendices A and B, be approved by Council on 24 February 2022, subject to the following amendments:

·         That the discretionary charges (6 in total) relating to junior bookings for football in the borough’s recreation grounds kept at 2021/22 rates.
