Fees and Charges consultation 2026/27
Each year, the council reviews its fees and charges to ensure they remain fair and reflect the cost of providing services.
Consultation is now open on the proposed Fees and Charges for 2026/27, which would take effect from 1 July 2026.
For the year ahead, an overall increase of 2.4 per cent is proposed in line with inflation, along with some targeted updates to better align fees with costs. Not all fees and charges will increase.
