Consultation process
Fees and Charges are normally set annually at Full Council following review and development between the service and finance and before being signed off by CLT and socialisation with the Cabinet Member for Leisure. The approach does not require public consultation.
Any amendments to Fees and Charges during the year requires either an officer decision, or a single Member decision. In this instance it has been determined that a single member decision is appropriate. Thorough analysis of Places Leisure and Wiltshire Council’s principles, products and processes has been undertaken including market assessment.
Clear communication of changes will be made to all Places Leisure and Wiltshire Council Leisure Members and Leisure users as part of the insourcing process.
