OXFORD City Council plans to increase some licensing charges with inflation next year, budget papers show.

Street traders look set to need to pay an extra £230 - three per cent - on top of this year's charge. That means annual consent for city centre and late night traders will cost £8,180 in 2018/19.

Mobile traders, such as ice cream vans and sandwich vans, are likely to need to pay an application fee of £107, an increase of £3.

Street cafe licences will cost £770, an extra £20 on what is currently charged.

Licence fees for sex establishments, scrap metal dealers, road closures and taxi licensing will remain the same.

That means hackney carriage drivers will pay £400 for a licence, but those hackney carriages with low emission technology will pay £300.

Scrap metal dealers pay £1,200 for a new site licence, while the same price must be paid to renew a site licence. To vary the licence, dealers must pay £100.

To open a new sex shop or a sex cinema, companies must pay £8,560. To open a new sexual entertainment venue, it will cost £5,890, the same as this year.

All the measures form part of the council's budget, which will be passed at a meeting at Oxford Town Hall on February 19.
