Consideration was given to the proposed fees and charges for the City Strategy portfolio for the 2010/11 financial year together with details of the anticipated increase in income that would be generated.

The main City Strategy charges related to:

• Residents Parking
• Car Parking and RESPARK
• Transport, Highway and Planning fees and charges

It was reported that the budget for City Strategy was supported by income from fees and charges totalling £9.5m and that this was of major significance in ensure a balance budget but that in most cases it was only proposed to increase charges in line with inflation.

The Executive Member noted that there had been no written representations in relation to the proposed fees and charges, which he felt, suggested widespread support for these proposals.
