To submit a report by the Director of Function (Resources)/Section 151 Officer.

It was resolved to approve the schedule of fees and charges for 2021/22 as outlined in the booklet presented.

The report of the Director of Function (Resources)/Section 151 Officer seeking the Executive’s approval of the proposed schedule of fees and charges for 2021/22 as appended was presented for consideration.

Councillor Robin Williams, Portfolio Member for Finance reported that a review of fees and charges forms part of the annual budget setting process. The Executive has set an objective that all non-statutory fees and charges ae increased by an average of 3% across each individual service. This has allowed Service Heads to increase individual fees by more or less than 3%, but overall, the increase across the service equates to a 3% increase. All statutory fees have been increased by the sum set by the approving body, where the increase has been published. Where the revised charge is not known, the fee is shown as to be confirmed (TBC) and will be updated once the notification of the new fee is received. Fee increases in respect of Social Care are the subject of separate reports.

It was resolved to approve the schedule of fees and charges for 2021/22 as outlined in the booklet presented.
