Issue - meetings

To receive the recommendations of the Overview and Scrutiny Panel’s consideration of the Fees and Charges for 2026/27.

AGREED to the recommendations of the Overview and Scrutiny Panel and approved the Fees and Charges for 2026/27. 

Members reviewed the Fees and Charges 2026/27 report presented by Councillor Boden.

Councillor Mrs French queried why there were no fees or charges relating to the Fenland Four Seasons events and said that in respect of stray dog fees she understands the dog warden contract is coming up in May so assumes it will come to Cabinet before then. Councillor Boden responded that the Four Seasons events are not included in the fees and charges as they are budgeted and the dog warden contract is small enough to be dealt with by the relevant Portfolio Holder in the form of a decision notice.  

Councillor Christy commented that unfortunately costs do go up but the proposed fees and charges for 2026/27 seem more than reasonable.

Proposed by Councillor Boden, seconded by Councillor Mrs French and AGREED to the recommendations of the Overview and Scrutiny Panel and approved the Fees and Charges for 2026/27.
