Community Centre Fees and Charges 2021/22

Reference: D1127

Decision Maker: Portfolio Holder for Community Development

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The report details a revised set of charges and pricing structure for Community Centres and seeks approval for their introduction from 1st April 2021.

Decision:

To approve the revised 3% increase in Fees and Charges for 2021/22 as detailed in Appendix 1 and 2

Reasons for the decision:

To contribute to the delivery of a balanced budget both in 2021/22 and in the medium term, and satisfy statutory requirement.

Alternative options considered:

For the pricing structure and discount levels to remain the same or an alternative percentage increase in inflation to be applied. Officers have considered these options and it is felt appropriate to continue with the blanket 3% rise that has been agreed as part of the medium term financial plan.
However, applying the 3% inflation increase and the revised pricing structure is considered to be most appropriate in meeting the budgetary requirements set up in the Medium Term Financial Plan.
