Will any English local authority formally approve a tourist levy on overnight stays expressed as a percentage greater than 5%?

🤖 Context

YES if no later than December 31, 2026, at least one local authority in England has formally approved the introduction of a tourist levy on overnight stays that is explicitly expressed as a percentage rate and whose percentage is strictly greater than 5%. Formal approval means a recorded council vote, a cabinet decision, a statutory instrument, or published council minutes or a press release. Credible reporting of such a formal approval by two or more independent authoritative news outlets, for example BBC News plus another national or regional outlet, is also sufficient to resolve YES. Otherwise NO.
