Adam Hug

politician United Kingdom

Adam Hug is the leader of Westminster City Council, where he has been a vocal advocate for the introduction of an overnight stay levy in London. He emphasizes the need for such a levy to balance the financial burdens on local taxpayers, as Westminster faces significant pressure from a large daytime population of visitors compared to its night-time residents. Hug believes that implementing a tourist tax would provide essential revenue to support local services and initiatives.
