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 2026/27 outlined in the booklet presented.

The report of the Director of Function (Resources)/Section 151 Officer incorporating a proposed schedule of fees and charges for 2026/27 was presented for the Executive’s consideration.

Councillor Gary Pritchard, Leader presented the report noting that the Executive has set an objective for all non-statutory fees and charges to increase by an average of 3% across each individual service. This allows service heads to adjust individual fees by more or less than 3%, provided that the overall increase for the service equates to 3%.

All statutory fees have been increased in line with the amounts set by the relevant approving body where updated figures have been published. Where the revised charges have not yet been confirmed, the fees are listed as “to be confirmed” and will be updated  once the new rates are received. Fees relating to social care and housing are reported to the Executive separately.

It was resolved to approve the schedule of Fees and Charges for 2026/27 outlined in the booklet presented.
