Purpose

The report details a new set of Fees and Charges for the Pet Cremation Service and seeks approval for their introduction from 1 April 2024.

Decision

a)To approve the revised Fees and Charges for 2024/25 as detailed in Appendix 1.
b)To approve the price revisions to be introduced from 1 April 2024.

Reasons for the decision

To contribute to the delivery of a balanced budget both in 2024/25 and in the medium term and satisfy statutory requirements.

Alternative options considered

Prices could change by a different percentage; however this would result in failure to meet the income target and is not in line with the proposals contained in the MTFP.
