Jon Dearing presented a brief
overview of the report and explained that the funding pot was a
result of the tourism levy in Bourton-on-the-Water, introduced in
March 2021, which added a 50 pence charge to every parking session
purchased during the year. The resulting funding was apportioned to
fund schemes that help the village manage the impact of the high
volumes of visitors it receives. The majority of funding decisions
were made in November 2024, and this report recommended using some
of the £12,000 funding remaining in the current financial
year.
