PDF 123 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet Member for Public Realm
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The report sets out the proposed subscription
charge for the new garden waste collection service.
Decision:
To approve the proposed annual subscription fee of £90 per subscription, effective from April 2024.
Reasons for the decision:
The subscription cost of £65 per annum on the 2024/25 Fees and Charges appendix referenced in section 2 set out an expected income of £650,000 based on an estimated number of subscribers of up to 10,000. Using the same methodology of subscriber numbers, the proposed subscription charge of £90 would lead to an expected income of £900,000, an increase of £250,000. This amount falls within the threshold of a Cabinet Member Decision within the Council’s constitution.
