Decision details
Registration and Mortuary (Fees and Charges)
PDF 30 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet Member for Public Realm
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To approve fees and charges from 1 April 2023,
and the introduction of new services and income streams within the
Registration service.
Decision:
To approve the proposed Registration and Mortuary Services fees and charges from 1 April 2023 as set out in Appendix 1 of the report.
Reasons for the decision:
The full range of Registration service fees and charges have not been reviewed in detail for over two years. Benchmarking data shows that the Council is undercharging in most areas compared to our neighbouring boroughs. This is putting pressure on the budget and a loss of income which could be used to support the Council objectives.
Alternative options considered:
If the proposals set out in this report are not approved the budgeted income projections will not be achieved in full and the budget pressure will be ongoing.
