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

It was RESOLVED to approve the schedule of Fees and Charges for 2025/2026 as outlined in the booklet attached to the report.

The report of the Director of Function (Resources)/Section 151 Officer incorporating a schedule of proposed fees and charges for 2025/2026 was presented for the Executive’s consideration.

Councillor Robin Williams, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Member for Finance and Housing Services reported that the Executive has set an objective that all non-statutory fees and charges are increased by an average of 3% across each individual service.  This has allowed Heads of Service to increase individual fees by more or less than 3% but, overall, the increase across the services 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 and will be updated once the notification of the new is received.  Social Care fee increases are reported separately to the Executive.

It was RESOLVED to approve the schedule of Fees and Charges for 2025/2026 as outlined in the booklet attached to the report.
