ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL COUNCIL FINANCIAL SERVICES 23 FEBRUARY 2023 REVENUE BUDGET 2023-24 FEES AND CHARGES 2. INTRODUCTION 2.1 This report provides Members with information in relation to fees and charges for 2023-24. 3. DETAIL 3.1 The Council raises fees and charges for a number of services it delivers and a review of the level of fees and charges is carried out each year. The appendix to this report contains the full list of fees and charges for each service and the following paragraphs summarise the main changes. 3.2 General Inflationary Increase 3.2.1 The general increase to fees and charges is proposed at 6% for 2023-24. A 3% increase was applied each year between 2017-18 and 2022-23. In some cases fees and charges are rounded up or down and that gives a variation from the simple 6%. For some smaller charges, the rounding effect may mean that the charge remains the same. 3.2.2 There are a few exceptions to the standard inflationary increases and these are noted in the table below: Description Increase Reason for Increase Local Authority Residential Care Provision (Community Care) Weekly charge 10% Charge has been right-sized to reflect budgeted costs. Non - Residential Services – excluding Sleepover Service 9% Rate increase reflects anticipated change in base to match Scottish Living Wage (SLW) which is a Scottish Government requirement from 2018/19 onwards as well as the impact of inflation on non- payroll costs. Pest Control 21% To reflect increased material costs. 3.2.3 The total impact of the general inflationary increases and those in the table above equates to an increase in income of £0.838m.

3.3 Piers and Harbours 3.3.1 Harbour Fees are proposed to be increased by a total of 11%. This 11% increase is split between a 6% general inflationary increase and additional 5% which will be ring-fenced to fund asset improvement and sustainability within the piers and harbours. This additional increase over and above the general inflationary increase is estimated to generate additional income of £0.419m. 3.4 Social Work Charges 3.4.1 The 2023-24 Social Work Fees and Charges schedule was presented to and endorsed by the IJB at its meeting on 25 January 2023. All Social Work fees and charges are included within the attached schedule of charges with the exception of Kintyre Care Centre which is being evaluated and will follow at a later date. There are no other changes proposed to the Social Work charging policies for 2023-24. 3.5 No Inflationary Increase 3.5.1 There are a number of fees where no inflationary increase has been applied. These are: • Homeless Temporary Accommodation – only the service charge is subject to inflation because the rate is linked to the Local Housing Allowance to keep them affordable. • Public Convenience entrance fee – these are only reviewed periodically and no increase is proposed in 2023-24. The Council previously decided to raise the fee from 30p to 50p in line with other chargeable publically accessible toilets across Scotland, at the same time as agreeing a project to reinstate defunct charging infrastructure at some sites and introduce charges at new sites. We are about to award a contract for these works and it is felt that since the ‘’new’’ charge of 50p has not been implemented due do the lack of charging infrastructure it would be unreasonable to increase the charge at this time. . • Blue Badges - current charge is the maximum allowed. • Licences – fees set for 3 years as of May 2021 as part of the Triennial review. • Parking – as per recommendation in the Council’s review of TRO arrangements. Argyll and Bute Council are currently carrying out an external parking review with AECOM. We expect the review findings to be sent to Roads and Infrastructure Services by end of February 2023. • Helensburgh Civic Centre Events - the hire rate needs to be benchmarked and charged in line with other hall hires in the Helensburgh and Lomond area to remain competitive. There is a risk that any rise in charge beyond those of similar facilities in the area would result in community groups and other hirers opting to use alternative venues, which would result in a loss of income to the Council rather than an increase. • School meals income (refer to paragraph 3.5.2)
Page 4
3.5.2 3.5.3 3.5.4 Members are asked to consider a recommendation from officers that the charges for school meals are not increased in 2023-24. The recommendation is based on the factors noted in paragraphs 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 below. A 6% increase in school meal charges could equate to a net increase in income of around £0.050m after adjusting for the expected reduction in meal demand, resulting from the price rise, on income and meal cost levels. The expected reduction in demand for meals is based on a demand modelling exercise completed prior to the COVID pandemic which suggested an increase in charges would encourage children and parents to seek alternative sources of food leading to a reduction in demand of around 3.7%, equivalent to 21,000 fewer meals per annum. Whilst a net increase income of £0.050m would be welcome from a financial perspective, there are non-financial factors which officers have taken into account in their assessment which they consider outweigh the financial benefits to the Council from an increase in the school meals charges which are: • The financial impact on families of additional school lunch costs would compound the financial difficulties which many families are already having to cope with in the current financial crisis. Families may opt to continue to buy the more expensive meals and look at other areas of their expenditure to cut back on to balance their household budgets or they might seek alternative lower cost, less healthy and less nutritional meal options elsewhere. Either option is highly likely to be detrimental to the overall health and wellbeing of pupils and their families; and • The Council has a statutory duty under the Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 to promote nutrition with school meals provision being a key element of the Council’s efforts to ensure that all children have at least one nutritious meal per day. Local research on demand modelling shows that an increase in school meal charges will, most likely, reduce school demand, The result would be fewer children having a nutritious school meal which would be counterproductive to the Council satisfying its statutory obligation. 3.6 Fees set by Others 3.6.1 There are also a number of services where the charges are advised by others and therefore, at present, have not been inflated or an estimated inflation rate has been applied: • Registrars Fees - these are set by the Registrar General and the last fees were set in May 2022. • Removal of abandoned car – this charge is set by legislation. • Petrol Storage Certificate • Explosives/Fireworks License and Registration • Private Water Supplies • Landfill Tax • Roads Inspection charges, set by Roads Authority and Utility Committee (Scotland).

• Penalty Charges notices set by the Scottish Government. • Private Landlord Registration Fees set by the Scottish Government. • Inter-Authority Substitute Family Care Placements 3.7 3.7.1 4. Suspension of Charges It should be noted that as agreed at the February 2022 budget meeting, off- street parking charges will be suspended for the two-week period prior to Christmas Day, to encourage residents to support local shops in the lead-up to Christmas, noting that in 2023 this will be from 9th to 24th of December inclusive. New Fees and Charges 4.1 The 2023-24 budget proposals include new fees and charges for the following; • Funeral Ceremonies - Monday to Friday - £180.00 • Funeral Ceremonies – Saturday - £300.00 • Cremation Services – Access to undertake Live Streaming - £25.00 • Easdale freight (domestic & commercial) - half boat load - £14.00 • Easdale freight (domestic & commercial) - full boat load - £27.00 5. CONCLUSION 5.1 The general inflationary increase would equate to additional income of £0.838m in 2023-24. All other fee increases agreed as part of previous budgets have been accounted for within the base budget or as part of the previously agreed savings amount. 5.2 The additional increase applied to fees and charges in respect of Piers and Harbours to fund the Asset Management plan would equate to an additional £0.419m. 6. IMPLICATIONS 6.1 Policy – Outlines the proposed increases to fees and charges for 2023-24. 6.2 Financial - Outlines the increased income as a result of changes to fees and charges. 6.3 Legal – None. 6.4 HR – None. 6.5 Fairer Scotland Duty: See below 6.5.1 Equalities – Mainly inflationary increases therefore limited impact. 6.5.2 Socio-Economic Duty - Mainly inflationary increases therefore limited impact. 6.5.3 Islands Duty - Mainly inflationary increases therefore limited impact. 6.6 Climate Change – None 6.7 Risk – Minimal risk. 6.8 Customer Service - Minimal risk in respect of the inflationary increases.

Charges for recycling collections or treatment should in general be levied on the commercial sector on the same basis as normal refuse collection or disposal, but with the benefit of no landfill tax payment being applied to the charge. At Waste Disposal Sites and Civic Amenity/Recycling Sites, use by the commercial sector (if permitted by the license conditions) should only be allowed in return for the payment of the appropriate rate, equivalent to the disposal charge excluding landfill tax.

The council reserves the right to opt out of the AOPA scheme at any time subject to three month's notice being given to AOPA by the council. Eligibility for waiver will be based on the same criteria as for a light aircraft landing fee. i.e. private flight in accordance with Schedule 1 of the ANO 2016. Flying Clubs, The council may negotiate agreements for reduced landing charges for flights made for the purpose of the clubs at an airport but not flights made for hire or reward outside the normal range or scope of club activities. These charges will increase on an annual basis - as a minimum - by the agreed Council Inflation Rate.
