Subject: Re: Charging for searches

At Newport, we charge the bargain price of £56... (worked out as an hour of officers time plus the admin etc etc)..

For us, searches generally involve analysis of our GIS records (hist maps/photogs etc) and a look at any departmental files for the site..

We seem to be getting more and more searches recently..  especially since certain companies now mention things such as 'Certificates of Non-Contamination' !! Something which I am not prepared to issue, and something which I feel does not explain the complexity of the situation to their clients, but leaves them rather confused..

Dear all

We at Blackpool do not currently charge for searches from members of the public but I have just been asked to draft a report on it and suggest a reasonable fee.  Obviously it would help if I knew what my colleagues charged for similar searches, so I was wondering; could you let me know what you charge?

Regards
