McGregor fronts school parking campaign
Contact Music News
Actor EWAN McGREGOR is spearheading a campaign against his local council after they unveiled new plans to scrap 'drop-off' zones outside schools.
Those with special permits can currently park for 15 minutes outside schools in Camden, North London, but council bosses intend to phase them out before 2008 - leaving parents risking parking fines of up GBP100 ($180) a time.
The STAR WARS actor, who lives with wife EVE and daughters CLARA, eight, and ESTHER, four, insists the new plans will make it impossible to safely drop his children off at school in the morning.
He says, "My children go to different schools and there is no adequate pay and display meter system at either school.
"Without the permits Camden can target the schools and make thousands in fines.
"People should have a right to deliver and pick up their children from school without being fined."
