Review of Pest Control Fees and Charges

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Taking on board the discussion of Members at the earlier Scrutiny Committee, Cabinet Board resolved to raise the NPT Residential charges by £8 instead of the proposed £15 (to £39 instead of £46), with the Residential out of hours visit charge increasing by £16 instead of the proposed £31 (to £76 instead of £92). This would be reviewed in 12 months’ time. NPT Commercial and NPT Contracts charges would increase as per Officers recommendations within the circulated report.

 

1.              That from 1 October 2017 it is proposed that the fees and charges across the pest control service increase to a level that will allow the service to become more sustainable, as set out in the table below;

 

2.              That the number of treatments/revisits included within the fee be limited, as shown in the table below.
