According to the Lisbon City Council, the municipality currently has a ratio of 7.2%, so the suspension applies to the entire territory, as long as the ratio between classic family accommodation and local accommodation does not fall below 5% throughout the entire territory. municipality or until the new Municipal Local Accommodation Regulation comes into force.
The Lisbon Municipal Assembly also unanimously approved the PSD/CDS-PP leadership’s proposal for the revision of the Municipality’s Sports Charter, as well as the new designation of the Municipality’s Physical Activity and Sports Charter.

In this context, it was also recommended that the Lisbon City Council work with the Loures City Council so that the name for the Tagus-Trancão Bridge is agreed between both municipalities.
