Non-Key Decision

Councillor Matthew Relf - Executive Lead Member for Growth, Regeneration and Local Planning

Councillor Chris Huskinson – Executive Lead Member for Leisure, Health and Wellbeing

Cabinet was requested to approve the new Markets Fees and Charges Policy and the changes to the Outdoor Sports Booking Policy, as appended to the report.

Members considered the alternative options of declining to approve the new and updated Policies but this was not recommended for the reasons outlined in the report.

RESOLVED that

a)    the new Markets Fees and Charges Policy, as presented, be approved;

b)    the amendments to the Outdoor Sports Booking Policy, as presented, be also approved.

Reasons:

1.    In relation to the Markets Fees and Charging Policy, an audit review recommended that whilst the Council had an agreed scheme of delegation with regards to amending fees and charges, a clearly defined policy defining how and where these can be changed, would strengthen accountability.

2.    In relation to the Outdoor Sports Booking Policy, some minor amendments had been made to the policy regarding responsibility for damage to Council assets and information has been provided regarding defibrillators.
