Consultees

The proposal was considered and endorsed by the Growth, Economic Development and Communities Cabinet Committee on the 7th March 2018
Financial implications: LRA has an increased income target of £350K for 2018-2019 which will be met through the changes to fees and charges proposed in the report. In relation to ceremony registration fees the full impact of these increases will be delivered in 2019/2020 due to the number of booking already accepted where we will honour the fees quoted at time of booking. This is likely to apply to approximately 70% of our ceremony bookings for 2018. It is also proposed that LRA’s fees and charges should be subject to a yearly review.
Legal implications: None
Equalities implications: An Equalities Impact assessment has been completed which has not raised any specific implications.
