What happens to Scarborough Town Hall after that is still anyone's guess. Money's on the agenda elsewhere too. North Yorkshire Council is working out what happens if an overnight visitor levy lands here, and[ it's coastal hoteliers who'd feel it first. ](https://www.thisisthecoast.co.uk/news/local-news/coastal-businesses-face-potential-impact-as-preparations-begin-for-tourism-tax/?ref=scarboroughinsider.co.uk)A small charge across 41 million annual visitors adds up to something like Β£50 million.
