A visitor levy involves everyone, so the council is hosting a series of drop-in events and online information webinars to help people in ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵapp find out more and get involved in assessing one for the area.

People across Scotland are considering a visitor levy for their area and the council wants communities in ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵapp to have the same chance, to consider one for here. If one was introduced, investment from a visitor levy could benefit local communities and visitors - as many services used by visitors are shared with residents.

The council is running a formal visitor levy consultation until 10 April 2025, during which time you are urged to find out what it could mean for you and the area and give your views. The consultation survey asks questions such as what would you like any income spent on if a levy was introduced and what support local businesses would like if involved. 

Over the next few weeks, we will be running online webinars and drop-in events in various locations across ·¬ÇÑÊÓƵapp.

The online webinars will last one hour. To attend these events you will need to book a space in advance. Booking for the online webinars will open on Monday 10 February. Links to book tickets for these will be available on the council website.

There will be no requirement to book for the drop-in events.
