Staverton landing fee- extortionate increase

Landed at Staverton on Saturday with a PPL student to find that the landing fee for training flights had increased from 10 quid to 17.

I wonder what justifies an increase of over 20 times the rate of inflation?

Can't help thinking that with the increase in biz jet activity and the fact that a helicopter belonging to Britains richest 80 year old female pensioner was on the ramp, they simply don't want the 'great unwashed' any more.

Great place to go on training flights otherwise, what a shame.
