✈️ Airport drop-off charges: unfair and avoidable? ✈️
I recently spoke in Parliament about the drop-off charges at East Midlands Airport and the wider problem across the UK. Now I want to hear your feedback on this issue. (Link at the end of the post)
East Midlands Airport is a huge asset to our region, but for many travellers there is no realistic alternative to travelling by car. The nearest train station is a 10-minute drive away, the bus from East Midlands Parkway is on-demand only, and if you’re travelling with children, luggage, or at unsociable hours, public transport just isn’t always practical.
With these limited choices:
🚗 91% of passengers travel by car
📱 You can’t pay at the airport — only online or by phone later
⚠️ Forget once, and you could face a £100 fine
This system feels stacked against ordinary people. It assumes everyone has the time, tech and headspace to remember to pay later, often after an early-morning or late-night drop-off, and offers no reminders.
That doesn’t feel like good consumer protection.
I’ve raised this directly with the airport asking for simple solutions like:
✔️ A pay machine
✔️ A QR code inside the terminal (so those dropped off can pay onsite)
✔️ Fairer time limits and reminders
So far, those requests have been refused.
Now I want to hear your thoughts and experiences on this issue. Please let me have your feedback, not just of drop off charges at EMA but other UK airports too. You can complete my survey here: www.amandahack.com/campaigns/airport-drop-off-charges-survey/

Really welcome today’s announcement of a £200 million investment to improve SEND training so every teacher has the skills and confidence to support every child.
This is something I’ve raised many times with the education team following my meetings with parents and teachers, and it’s great to see action that will help ensure children with special educational needs get the right support early on.
A big step towards a more inclusive education system for families in our community and across the country, ensuring every child gets the best start in life!

🚨 NHS WAITING LISTS DOWN BY A WHOPPING 86,000 🚨
That’s the second biggest drop in 15 years, despite record demand in 2025, a tough winter so far, and industrial action.
The facts speak for themselves 👇
✅ Waiting lists are falling
🩺 Patient satisfaction with GP access has risen from 60% to 75%
👩⚕️ Fewer staff are leaving the NHS than at any point in the last decade (outside the pandemic)
Make no mistake, this progress is down to the hard work of NHS staff, Labour’s modernisation of the NHS, and record investment - Investment that the Tories and Reform both opposed.
There’s still so much more to do and a long way to go..
But today shows we’re turning the NHS around and getting it back on its feet. This is what renewal looks like. 💪❤️🩹 ... See MoreSee Less

We’re delivering the biggest investment in rail in a generation, and it’s great to see up to £45 billion allocated to Northern Powerhouse Rail.
I’m continuing to push hard for better rail links here in the East Midlands. Just today I met with Network Rail to discuss plans and ideas for reinstating the Ivanhoe Line.
I raise the Ivanhoe Line with colleagues and Ministers in Parliament at every opportunity and it remains right at the forefront of my campaigning. ... See MoreSee Less

A Big step forward for working families 👶💙
From April, millions of workers will get day-one rights to parental leave, meaning no parent has to choose between their job and being there for their child.
Over 18 million workers will benefit, including 32,000 more dads who will be able to take paternity leave straight away, as a mother would with maternity leave.
Plus new rights for bereaved partners to take up to 52 weeks’ leave. This fixes the previously unfair system where bereaved partners had to rely on the compassion of an employer to be granted time off to grieve.
That's the difference our Employment Rights Act will make. These changes mean fairer workplaces and better support for families when it matters most. ... See MoreSee Less

Filling in potholes isn’t just about making roads safer for everyone; it also helps prevent unnecessary and unexpected repair costs for drivers, which can often run into hundreds of pounds.
As part of a major uplift in funding for road maintenance (£144m for Leicestershire, on top of last year's £28.5m) the Department for Transport is rating local councils on how well they fill potholes and look after their roads. These ratings are based on three key areas:
🚦 Road condition: How good or bad the state of local roads is
💰 Council spending: How much councils invest in road repairs
🛠️ Best practice: Whether councils follow best practice in maintaining highways
Some of this funding was put to good use last summer in Coalville, where several roads were resurfaced, a welcome and long-overdue improvement for local road users. However, the data shows that we are still lagging behind other councils when it comes to following best practice and overall spend on road maintenance, which is disappointing.
What do you think of our roads here in North West Leicestershire? Let me know in the comments below!

Around 12 young people a week in the UK are dying from undiagnosed heart conditions. Many are fit, active, and have no idea anything is wrong.
We need better awareness and wider screening so these silent conditions are caught before it’s too late. Early detection can and does save lives.
