Purpose

To seek Cabinet Member approval for Fees and Charges for services provided by Transportation & Highways Infrastructure, for financial year 2026/27.

Decision

Decision(s):

That the fees and charges be uprated as set out in the report and in the attached appendices.

Reason(s) for the Decision(s):

The Council sets fees and charges on an annual basis for a variety of services provided to the public and businesses.

Each year these fees and charges are reviewed to consider any revisions.

The rate of CPI for September had been used in consideration of any increases to fees and charges and for September 2025 this was 3.8%. The fees and charges shown below have generally been increased by 3.8% with some rounding-up or rounding-down to ensure ease of payment and processing.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

The fees and charges could be kept at current levels, but this would have an impact on income and the consequent budget position.
