Don't get out of bed for tax....

JUST when you think the Government is starting to realise the benefits of the British resorts and push tourism in the UK - along comes bed tax.
An increase of between five an 10 per cent on rates paid by owners of hotels and guesthouses is being proposed - and it will no doubt be passed on to those seeking accommodation; those that are happy to come to places like Cleethorpes and spend their hard earned money boosting an economy that is fragile enough.
Surely we should be chucking money at these people by way of grants and relief, so that properties can be brought up to higher standards, attracting even more of those precious tourism pounds, gradually improving what is on offer.
Now more than ever this is needed, with hotter weather becoming the norm, and heightened concern about flying.
Give our rersorts a break, don't break them.
