1.3 This report refers to proposed increases in fees for applications for various licences for taxi and private hire cars and charges relating to the operation of the licensing of taxis and private hire cars in excess of 2.5%. The report also refers to increases in fees for other civic government licensing applications. However, these other fees will increase by 2.5% in line with the Council decision on 12 February, 2009.
I wonder if it is significant that this report goes before the committee on the same day the Sneddon appeal is due to be heard?
Perhaps they are increasing fees to cover the legal costs of the case.
