Nursing home fees and bereavement services will also rise
Increasing parking charges and nursing home fees across Nottingham are among the actions planned by the city council to fill a financial hole in its budget. The authority has just completed a review of its fees and charges, with cremations and Council House events also being among the services where a price increase is planned.
The review was carried out by an external consultant at a cost of up to £150,000 as the council said it did not have "internal resources available at this time to take this work on." But as a result of the review, the council says it will be just over £2 million better off next year if proposals are implemented.The plans will now be discussed at a meeting of the council's Executive Board on February 21 and then at a full council meeting on March 6.
The review was carried out between last July and December, with public consultation on it running until January 25. Below are some of the most significant price rises being proposed by the council.Mapperley Rd: Current Charge - £2 - Proposed Charge - £2.20Meadows Restrictions: Current Charge - £2 - Proposed Charge -£2.20St Ann's: Current Charge - £2 - Proposed Charge - £2.20QMC Area: Current Charge - £2 - Proposed Charge - £2.
