Stop UK Airports and Private companies making money from Airport forecourts.

What the petition asks
Airports in the UK have gradually introduced charging for dropping off and in some cases are using private companies and the Police to enforce only picking people up from inside the terminals rather than on the forecourts.
I feel this is not a security issue but rather a money making exercise!

Heathrow - Dropoff only free and Police (HAL Bylaws) enforcement for pickup in terminal.
London City - Dropoff free and new enforcement of Pickup in Shortstay £5.50!
Stansted - Forecourt dropoff or pickup now £3.00 for 10 mins!
Luton Airport - Dropoff area £2.50 for 10 minutes and Expensive Shortstay for pickups.
People in the Hackney Carriage, Taxi & Private Hire industry especially are having a hard enough time making a living at present without these indiscriminate rules.
