Consultation process
Discretionary fees and charges are considered as part of the budget setting process. Budget consultation meetings were held with trade union representatives on 6 February and with older people, young people and businesses on 10 February 2014. Fees and charges were not reported as an issue at any of the consultation events.
The charges proposed for 2014/15 reflect the principles set out in the Council’s Policy on Fees, Charges and Concessions, in seeking to recover the full cost of providing the service where the Council has the powers to do so. The charges are set out in Appendix 1 to this report.
The charges do not affect the waste and recycling service provided to domestic households except for the provision of second garden waste bins and the collection of bulky household waste.
