Cabinet considered a report on proposed fees and charges to take effect from 1^st April 2021.  The Charging Policy approved in 2014 set out the criteria to be taken into account when establishing the amounts to be charged.  Councillor Sweeney explained that the Medium Term Financial Strategy assumed an overall 3% increase in the amount of income raised from fees and charges in the forthcoming financial year.  There were a number of fees and charges where it was proposed that fees be frozen and this included car park charges and planning fees.  A separate review of Jubilee 2 was underway and it was proposed that fees and charges remain frozen pending the outcome of this review.
