WITH regard to after-school clubs, perhaps Tracy Simpson Laing can afford such fees (Letters, July 8).

But where does she expect such funding to materialise from for the extra staff and facilities needed to run these before and after-school activities for children of the less wealthy?

Surely not "more" taxes!
