Tackling variation in riding schools’ licensing fees is key to their future, it is agreed – after one local authority claimed centres could turn over £7,200 per day.

A Pembrokeshire County Council (PCC) scrutiny committee discussed licensing fees at a meeting on 25 November. The issue was raised again at a full PCC meeting on 12 December.

At the first meeting, councillors considered a report on how fees are set.
