Mid-Wales dog care firms set for licence fees hike
Animal welfare licence fees in Powys, Mid-Wales, are set to be increased by 14-15% from 1 April to “reflect and cover the cost and time of council staff processing the licences”.
From April the licence for home boarders and daycares will be £213 – up from £186 in 2022/2023, and for commercial kennels it will be £288 – up from £253 in 2022/2023.
The move follows a consultation in November. One objector said: “I am very disappointed that you will be trying to squeeze us more by increasing the fees again.
“I can’t keep passing the cost on or I become too expensive for people to use me.”
Councillors voted unanimously to approve the changes.

If the Local Authorities went for the unlicensed Home Boarders and Day Carers they wouldn’t need to increase the license fees!
