Fees and charges

Income from fees and charges is an important source of funds and helps us deliver a range of services. 

West Northamptonshire’s Draft Budget generates Fees and Charges income in the region of £29m. For further details please see the proposed Appendix C Fees and Charges. This shows the current charges (2025 to 2026) and the proposed charges (2026 to 2027). 

Each year we review, and where appropriate, increase fees and charges to cover any increasing cost of service provision, the impact of any inflationary increases and align with national benchmarks, and nationally set fees. We do not raise fees and charges where the charges are set by Government. 

To what extent do you agree or disagree that the Council should put up some fees and charges in line with inflation and operational costs, to help fund services?
