Parking sign mix up at Leeds Airport

The controversial new drop-off fee at Leeds Airport has stirred up more controversy after the airport broke planning rules when it installed new signage to alert passengers to the new charges, the Yorkshire Evening Post reports.

Passengers now have to pay £2 for the privilege of dropping-off or picking-up passengers in the airport’s Drop Off & Pick Up Car Park and bosses, keen to tell passengers of the £2 fee, failed to apply for planning permission before erecting the signs on White House Lane.

According to the paper, the notices also breach guidelines on style, content and letter size.

A council spokesman told the Yorkshire Evening Post: “The new signs on White House Lane alerting passengers to the new pick-up and drop-off arrangements at the airport do not meet national road sign guidelines.

“We have spoken with the airport and will ensure they resolve the matter as quickly as possible.”
