Title:Reduce excessive airport drop-off and parking charges at major UK airports
We call on the UK Government to regulate and reduce excessive airport drop-off and short-stay parking charges at Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and London City airports. Fees like £13 for 30 minutes at Stansted are unreasonable and place an unfair financial burden on travellers and drivers.

Background
These rising costs particularly affect families, travellers, and workers such as private hire vehicle (PHV) drivers and black cab drivers. Many drivers must pay these charges upfront and then attempt to reclaim them, which adds further financial pressure and administrative burden.
We believe airport access should be fair and affordable. The Government should review and regulate these charges to ensure they are proportionate, transparent, and do not unfairly exploit passengers and transporters..
