Key Decision

Councillor Rachel Madden – Executive Lead Member for Finance, Revenues and Benefits

Each year the Council reviews its Fees and Charges as part of setting its Annual Budget and Cabinet was requested to consider and approve the proposed Fees & Charges booklet for 2024/25, as appended to the report.

Members considered the alternative options for varying the fees and charges,

as presented to them in the report, where applicable.

RESOLVED

that the Fees & Charges for 2024/25 (as shown at Appendix 1), with all applicable increases taking effect as soon as practically possible after 1 April 2024, be approved.

Reason:

Additional income generated will help towards meeting the inflationary costs of service provision, as well as contributing towards the Council’s saving targets and continuing to support the financing of a range of services to Ashfield residents and businesses. In addition, an annual review of Fees and

Charges is part of sound financial management practice and a requirement of the Council’s Financial Regulations.
