The Green Party has come out against Edinburgh Airport's planned £1 drop off fee, describing it as ‘simply one more way to screw money out of travellers’, the Scotsman reports. The party, which supports the principle of cutting car journeys to and from the airport, said the charge is simply a tax on travellers because it is too small to change car drivers' behaviour.
The news means that all of the political parties represented in the Scottish Parliament are opposed to the ‘kiss and fly’ charge. The Scottish Government said last week that it does not support the fee, for similar reasons to the Greens.
