Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Finance and Local Investment considered the report which sought approval of the 2023/24 Fees & Charges proposed in the amended Appendix II Highways and Parking.

 

The main report setting out the Fees and Charges (F&Cs) proposed from the start of the financial year 2023/24 was approved by Cabinet on 7 February 2023 apart from those included in Appendix II Traffic Management due to errors having been identified.

 

The Cabinet Member for Finance and Local Investment RESOLVED

 

1.            To agree the proposed highways and parking fees and charges, subject to a Statutory Notification process where required as detailed in Section 7 and Appendix II, to be levied by the Council with effect from 1 April 2023, unless otherwise stated.

 

2.            To authorise officers to proceed to Statutory Notification to increase parking charges.

 

3.            To note the findings of equalities assessments as set out in the main 2023/24 Fees & Charges report agreed by Cabinet on 7 February 2023.

 

Reasons for Decision

Under the Council’s Income Policy, it is a requirement to review fees and charges as a minimum annually. Given the ongoing challenges facing the Council, this is even more appropriate.

 

Alternative options considered

This report summarises the conclusions in relation to proposed Highways and Parking Fees & Charges for 2023/24, set out in Appendix II after consideration of a range of alternative approaches dependent on particular services and relevant factors. As such a range of alternative options ranging from no increase to differentiated rates of increases or decreases have been considered and reflected in this report.
