Parents face charges for dropping-off children
3:37pm Monday 28th April 2008
Parents of some of Richmond's youngest schoolchildren are facing the prospect of paying £75 a year to drop them at school from September if new proposals are agreed.

These all seem to be infant or nursery schools where the children are too young to walk to school on their own.
Many are independent schools where the parents have not chosen their local school. Hence, more parents using cars and causing local difficulties.
I think it looks a good idea if it encourages parents to park in proper spaces and not illegally. All the children should be a lot safer.
