Interesting to see that this morning you said the parking charges are "fair and reasonable" and now you decide they are "scandalous". Even I think the parking charges aren't that bad, you really need to start widening your channel of thought when it comes to all this. It's like when the Runway Viewing Park increased the prices and people said it was unjustifiable to do so. Well, how else can they pay for all the improvements to the surfaces in that area, the project to safely move the newts, the costs at maintaining the Concorde hangar etc.
Money cannot be spent on improvements unless the money is actually generated in the first place. It is better to increase the charge in something to generate money for a bigger project to benefit the area in the long-term, rather than, don't increase any charges and just use whatever money we have to 'seal the leaks'.
