Sports players, gardeners and drivers in Watford face paying more for services next year.
The town's mayor Peter Taylor has warned his council must take “difficult decisions” to meet the higher cost of running council services.
Plans which the authority’s cabinet will debate on Monday, October 2, propose a raft of new fees and charges, due to come in between January and September 2024.The two-hour free parking will remain in place at Cassiobury Park Car Park, near Watford Met station, but for two hour stays or longer, fees are due to rise by £1 – so the tariff will work out at £1 per hour.
Some prices will be frozen, including all-day tickets at The Avenue and the Town Hall, and all tariffs at Longspring, off St Albans Road.Residents in a Controlled Parking Zone face paying £31 for yearly permit – up from £28 – for their first car.If the cabinet agrees these fees, they will come in on January 1, 2024.Allotment holders, who are charged per “pole” per year, face a price rise from £7.75 to £8.50.
Senior football players face paying £75 for pitch and changing facilities hire at the standard rate from the start of next year. Watford Borough Council officers admitted the authority’s financial position is “challenging” in a September 2023 report. A different report, for the borough’s cabinet, sets out a review of fees and charges is normal and usually takes place in the autumn.“The inflationary environment means that it is prudent for this review to be undertaken sooner to ensure that fees and charges remain aligned to the cost of delivering services,” officers wrote.
