Purpose

The report details a revised set of charges
and pricing structure for Community Centres and seeks approval for
their introduction from 1st April 2024.

Decision

a)To approve the 13% increase in Fees and
Charges for 2024/25 as detailed in Appendix 1and 2

Reasons for the decision

To contribute to the delivery of the
medium-term financial plan.
To enable the Council to meet its income targets for the centres
and reduce the running costs to the Council by offsetting the
additional income generated against the expenditure.

Alternative options considered

An alternative option is for the pricing
structure and discount levels to remain the same. This option was
dismissed as it is contrary to the percentage rise that has been
agreed as part of the medium term financial plan.
