The report was presented to the Committee by Mr Paul Lehane (Head of Food Safety, Occupational Safety and Licensing).
The report proposed a new licence fee for Home Boarding of cats and dogs in the light of reduced veterinary inspection costs.
The report noted that the current fees were based on a charge for the Council’s appointed veterinary surgeon of £211.00, with additional fees of £4.22 for each cat and dog. The City of London Veterinary Service was revising its fee structure and was proposing a new fee of £74.00 for home boarders from January 1st 2017.
LBB was proposing to replace the administration fee based on the number of animals to £72.00. Thus LBB was proposing to charge a new fee for home boarders of £146.00.
RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder agree the new licence fee of £146.00 for the Home Boarding of cats and dogs under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963 with effect from 1st January 2017.
