Decision:
It is recommended that from 23rd April 2018 the fees for each pitch on the Council’s Gypsy and Traveller sites at Longacre and Redmires will increase by £3.48 (3.9%) to £92.70 per week
Reasons for the decision:
The proposed increase is in accordance with the completion of the local convergence policy agreed by the Cabinet Member for Homes and Regeneration in February 2012 and the terms of the Written Statement in relation to the Mobile Homes Act 1983 agreed by him in May 2011 and issued to each occupier of both sites.
Alternative options considered:
No increase in pitch fees in 2018/19 – this option would mean that income into the account did not keep pace with cost inflation.
