Decision - Royal Pavilion: Fees & Charges

34.1    The Committee considered a report of the Assistant Chief Executive in relation to Fees and Charges. The purpose of the report was to present the review of fees and charges across the Royal Pavilion and Museums, the proposed fee changes in the report would be implemented from April 2016.

34.2    It was confirmed to Councillor Peltzer Dunn that all schools in the city, including academies, would continue to enjoy free admission. It was also clarified that the decline in attendance to the museum was in line with the projection at the time the charge had been introduced; however, it was not possible to assess this in full as the charges had not yet been in place for a full year.

34.3    In response to Councillor C. Theobald it was confirmed that the museums were on track to meet the income target for the current financial year, furthermore the income on functions would be exceeded.

34.4    The Chair then put the recommendations to the vote.
