indicates that this will continue for the foreseeable future. Option 2 follows this future pricing model. Option 3 This option restores prices to 2009 policy prices, with proposed amendments and removal of free lets as outlined above, but then increases prices at 10% (current Council default price increase) to 22/23. Parity between school and leisure centre pricing would be lost, with HC prices steadily getting comparatively more expensive. Option 4 This option introduces the amendments to the pricing schedule and removes free lets as proposed above, then applies a one-off price increase (39%) on 1 April 2018 with the aim of achieving the savings target (based on current lets volumes). Thereafter to 22/23 prices increase at 10% per year (current Council default price increase). 6.2 Increase Let Volumes The current focus of the lets project is to organise the mechanics of lets management - the booking process, facilities available and the price schedule. Underpinning each of the options, particularly Options 2 and 3, is the potential to grow the lets business and increase the volume of lets and income. For example there is scope to apply these tools to the wider Council estate and take a more commercial approach to the generation of income from other Council facilities such as meeting rooms, playing fields and car parks used for events. Promoting and marketing the facilities available can help grow the business. High Life Highland demonstrates how managing customer relationships to promote activities can create new demand. 6.3 Indicative Prices To give an indication of the impact of each option on actual prices the table and graphs below show the impact on three different booking scenarios: All weather for 1hr semi-commercial rate (Band B) Meeting room hire for 2 hours (community rate (Band A) Uniformed Group using a small hall for 1hr (Band A 50% discount.) 17/18 18/19 22/23 Increase Increase 16/17- over policy 22/23 price (22/23) All weather pitch (1hr) semi commercial Options 1&2 (policy plus 5%) £35.95 £35.20 £42.85 19% 0% Option 3 (policy plus 10%) £35.95 £36.85 £54.10 50% 26% Option 4 (savings plus 10%) £23.20 £46.60 £68.35 195% 60%
