Proposal for £2 Visitor Tax in Cleethorpes Sparks Debate Over Economic Impact

A proposal for a £2 visitor tax in Cleethorpes has ignited a fiery debate amongst local authorities and residents alike. Former councillor, Matthew Brown, is a keen supporter of the levy, suggesting it could raise considerable funds for future developments and job creation in the famous seaside resort. In contrast, the present portfolio holder has raised concerns, arguing that any such tax might dissuade visitors and negatively impact local businesses. These discussions arise as Cleethorpes explores strategies to stimulate its economy and enhance facilities for both locals and tourists. Given Cleethorpes is a favourite destination for many residing in Lincolnshire, the resolution to this tax proposal may potentially have a broader effect on the region’s tourism.
