Re: % change in fees due to VAT

Yes fees will most likely go up again in Sept 2025 - I would expect 5% minimum
The schools are losing business rates relief in April 2025 and school fees have historically risen annually at a rate above inflation

I'm sure KSC is great and doesn't need sockpuppet promotion

Re: Wandsworth food compost system - no liner bags provided - ridiculous

We gave up already as the foxes can open the bins.

The liners will degrade if they get wet so the council couldn't distribute them as they do the recycling bags

You don't have to use the food compost bins if you don't want to

Our schools have said they are unable to confirm at this stage but one is hoping for 15%

The removal of business rates relief from April 2025 is an additional challenge

Re: Does anyone use a storage company for year round storage?

We used Big Yellow for a couple of years. It wasn't cheap but it worked well for us. We had a smaller unit initially then upgraded to a bigger one.
