Soaring gas and electricity prices are being blamed
Soaring gas and electricity prices mean costs at Mansfield Crematorium will rise by nearly £700,000 over the next three years. More than £200,000 is expected to be added to budgets for each of the coming three financial years, fuelled by bills that are “significantly higher” than originally forecast.
Gas price increases are the main cause of these rises, with £167,606 of the 2023-24 increase attributed to spending on gas bills. A further £46,895 will come through electricity increases, with an additional £504 needed for water rates and £1,213 in insurance fees. Exempt reports on the plans have meant no detailed information has been released about the new site, including where it could be based. But newly-published papers confirm it is expected to cost £4.6million and costs have been allocated into the 2023-24 financial year.
