The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority report contains much detail, but says little about the way in which the tourist tax will be spent, other than expressing a preference for ‘tourism-related purposes’. A clue might be found in the report’s illustrations, more than two thirds of the photographs are taken in an urban environment - mostly - and unsurprisingly - of York.

Also avoiding the disproportionate burden on the provider, as the administrative cost per visit is the same but their income is lower.

Could some of us who live in the relevant area point that out to the Authority, please?
