Purpose

The Leisure Centres currently provide in-house
vending machines at Dovercourt and Walton Leisure Centres, allowing
customers to purchase a variety of snack items, cold drinks and a
hot drinks machine located at Dovercourt. The prices have been in
place since November 2022 and are required to be reviewed in line
with 1st April 2024 price increases.
With ever-increasing costs and a stock price increase over time,
the leisure sites have collectively reviewed the items sold and
outlined the proposed changes to each item we sell within the
concurrence letter.

Content

To approve the vending prices to be increased,
as outlined in the concurrence letter, as from 1st April 2024 in
order to cover the expenditure costs associated with purchasing
stock for the vending machines and machine costs, along with
maintaining in-line with income lines after inflation on product
purchases.

The Portfolio Holder for Leisure & Public Realm has concurred
with this decision being made.
