The £1 parking fee for drop off is highly irritating - fair enough if there is a “premium” drop off but in the interests of fairness I believe there should always be a free drop off location available.
At the moment people get dropped off at the petrol station across the road and cross the road through traffic (no pedestrian crossing). Sooner or later a pedestrian will get hit for the sake of the airport not providing an adequate free drop off point.
