Decision Notice D170010CAB

The joint report of the Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services, the Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health and the Director of Finance and Transformation set out proposed fees and charges for the provision of services in respect of food certificates, contaminated land monitoring, private water supplies, pest control, stray dog redemption fees, household bulky refuse and fridge/freezer collections, “missed” refuse collections and the Council’s car parks from April 2017. 

In bringing forward the proposals for 2017/18, it was noted that consideration had been given to a range of factors including the Council’s overall financial position, trading patterns, the current rate of inflation, competing facilities and customer demand.  Particular reference was made to the comprehensive review of car parking charges undertaken at the beginning of 2016 and the conclusion that no further changes be made but the position be reviewed again in 12 months’ time.

RECOMMENDED:  That Cabinet approve the scale of charges for mandatory condemned food certificates, exported food certificates, contaminated land monitoring, sampling private water supplies, stray dog redemption fees, household bulky refuse and fridge/freezer collection, “missed” refuse collection and car parking charges with effect from 1 April 2017, as detailed in the report to the Advisory Board.
