In February I asked for information on research fees. Many thanks to
everyone who responded. Our report is now going to councilors.
The results were interesting. Most places charge by the hour, only a few
still give the first half hour free. Charges range from £10 per quarter
hour to £50 per hour, but the average was between £12-£15 per hour., with
commercial customers being charged more.
Only Kensington has a "shoppng list" of charges for different searches.
This is the formula we are following as we don't have enough staff to
justify a full research service.
I you are interested a copy of the summary of ur report and the proposed
charges is attached.
