The Committee received a report recommending fees and charges for which it is responsible, with the new charges being effective from 1 April 2020.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Bourne Hall. Officers informed the Committee that it was proposed to combine peak and off-peak charges into a standard annual charge for room hires, as use of the venue did not follow a seasonal pattern.

b)           Commercial outdoor fitness classes in parks. Officers informed the Committee that it was proposed to introduce an annual charge for use of the Borough’s parks for outdoor fitness classes. This charge was based on the number of classes held per week by the operator and would cover the cost of administration and make a small contribution to the general upkeep of the Borough’s green spaces.

Following consideration, it was resolved:

That the Committee:

(1)      authorised the Chief Finance Officer to vary fees and charges for items generating income under £1,000 per annum and/or for one-off services or items;

and, subject to the approval of Council:

(2)      agreed the fees and charges for 2020/21 as set out at Annex 1.
