BG54 JHU

White Volkswagen T-Sporter

Residents report that this vehicle has been using Hollingdean as a place to park for at least the past two years.
It is believed to belong to a resident in one of the adjoining resident parking zones. Several residents have suggested that it is related to SL09 WUB, which similarly uses Hollingdean for 'free' parking whilst attempting to park as close as possible to their residence on Hollingbury Road.
It is known that the owner of this vehicle also owns a red Honda Civic (AY66 VPL). The gentleman owner is often seen swapping one vehicle for the other, meaning that they have one or the other of their vehicles permanently parked in the space, leaving local residents totally locked out of using the space at all. Their Honda is parked there in Hollingdean during the day, and then this Volkswagen is swapped in, parked in the same space, over nights and at weekends. They then drive to and from Hollingdean in the mornings and evenings in the Honda.
This is incredibly unfair for local residents, adding to the congestion in the Westernmost corner of Hollingdean around Hollingbury Crescent, Adams Close, and the bottom end of Stanmer Park Road.
As a very large vehicle, it also takes up significant amounts of road space and is often left unmoved for extended periods of time (often being left unmoved from Wednesday or Thursday until the following Monday). During the winter season, it has been known to not move at all for two months or more at a time.
Residents report that, like EY55 YOC (a similar non-resident vehicle using Hollingdean for free parking), the rear bed is often left full of untethered rubbish. This then blows away when the weather is windy, covering our streets in litter.
