Admission prices at Normanby Park are set to rise next year. As family budgets are squeezed ever tighter North Lincolnshire Councillors have been recommended that entry fees for the 2011-2012 season should be raised. The move comes as it was revealed season ticket sales up to the end of September 2010 totalled 7,097. This was a decrease of 798 on sales for the same period in 2009. As such the Country Park failed to reach its target for the sale of season tickets by �6,048 last year. The sale of day tickets, however, exceeded its target by �11,766. Advice from the Finance Service suggested that income targets would increase by 2.5 per cent in 2011-12. In addition VAT would rise to 20 per cent in January 2011. These increases could create a budget pressure of �7,000. Officers had calculated the new fees suggested, with a view to meeting this pressure. Normanby Hall Family Season Tickets for four have been frozen at �19.50 with a �1 �early bird� reduction if bought before 1st June 2011. Season tickets for two are set to rise from �14.50 to �15.50 whilst a season ticket for one will also rise from �11 to �12. Individual prices set to rise are as follows; 2010-2011 Per person Adult - �5.10 Child - �2.60 Over 60 - �4.60 2011-2012 Per person Adult - �5.50 Child -�2.80 Over 60 - � 5.00 Group Season Tickets for up to 20 people, who must be a registered charity or formally constituted not for profit organisation, will see the biggest rise from �40 to �43, these ticket are not available for schools. Councillors have been recommended to approve these charges at their latest meeting.
