Fees for burials and cremations, allotment rents and bulky waste collection charges will also rise
An East Lancashire local authority is to increase many of its fees and charges to residents and businesses by two per cent for the financial year from April 1. But the rise approved by Burnley Council ’s executive on Wednesday night is less than the three per cent figure originally projected in September.
Contract parking charges will increase by 2.05 per cent and 2.15per cent . The increases/freezes in charges will result in an average increase of three per cent across the service generating approximately £23,000 additional income. The council’s discretionary commercial pest control service will be scrapped as uneconomic. The Towneley Hall admission fee, reduced by 50 per cent for the period October 2022 to January 2025 due to building works, will be reinstated to the 2023/24 values and increased by two per cent.Cllr Margaret Lishman, Burnley Council’s finance boss.
