As recommendation.

The Executive Member for Corporate Management introduced the report to seek approval from Members for the adoption of a policy for the approval of premises as venues for civil marriages and civil partnerships from 1 April 2012 and the adoption of revised fees for registration services provided by Flintshire Registration Service. 

                        The Chief Executive explained that the recommended fees had been increased to take account of administering licence applications and inflation over the last two years since the fees were last reviewed.  The statutory fee for a marriage or civil partnership in a Register Office was £40 and remained unchanged. 

            RESOLVED:

(a)       That the new policy for the approval of premises as venues for civil marriages and civil partnerships as set out in Appendix 1 be agreed and adopted from 1 April 2012; and

(b)       That the revised fees for non statutory services as set out in Appendix 2 be agreed and adopted with effect from 1 April 2012.
