Nottingham’s plan to introduce a £2 per night levy on hotel stays has been delayed until January 2026. The levy, designed to generate £1.7 million annually for the city’s economy, will be implemented through an Accommodation Business Improvement District (BID), similar to Manchester, Liverpool, and Bournemouth models.
The BID, led by ItsInNottingham, will collect contributions from accommodation providers and reinvest the funds into local initiatives. A vote among BID members on the plan was initially scheduled for 2024 but has been pushed to late 2025 to allow for further consultation and economic assessment.
The Nottingham City Council will review the BID’s renewal plan on March 3, and a final vote among members is set for later this year. The delay is not expected to affect the planned 2026 launch.
