I thought that some jobsworth had deleted this thread.

I think as a minimum, any repeat posters who fall foul for the second (or further) time should be contributing to this fund if they expect another tranche of assistance from regulars. Just a (basic) fiver would help.

Yes, me too. Has someone at last injected a modicum of common sense into the wannabe Gestapo who moderate this forum?

I have read the Government's Consultation Paper on Parking Reform: Tackling Unfair Practices.
I have a specific complaint: that both Manchester Airport and Liverpool Airport have made it well-nigh impossible (in the case of Liverpool, absolutely impossible; in the case of Manchester, it depends on the Terminal) to merely drop somebody off or pick them up without paying a parking fee, even though the driver stays for no more than two or three minutes. At Liverpool, the charge is now £2 for simply stopping to drop someone off or pick them up, and there is no way to avoid it. In Manchester, T1, the same applies, though in T3 you can drop off, but not pick up, and there the charges are even higher than in Liverpool.
It seems to me that the airport authorities are using passengers as a 'cash cow' with this practice, and I believe the government should step in and ban the practice. No-one minds paying for parking if there is genuine 'parking'; but if if it just a question of stopping for a few minutes to unload or accept passengers, this is too much!

Isnt that a duplication of this thread? - hopefully it will be merged or deleted

Ralph-y

the new link points to the official(?) MSE thread not the older ongoing original one ........

they both lead to the same point / survey ,

don't know if merging would help or not ? or if it would make no difference?
