FY57 XYV

Black Honda Jazz

• Residents report that this vehicle belongs to a family outside of Hollingdean.

• For several weeks this Honda was left at the top of Hollingbury Crescent in varying states of disrepair. It is suggested that the owner had purchased it as a non-runner and then chose to repair the vehicle on the 'free' public road opposite their own home (in the permit zone).

• For more than a week the vehicle sat without an engine, left precariously balanced on stands (with the wheels removed), above an overflowing pan collecting dripping oil.

• The owner would then return irregularly to work on the car, still on the public road.

• The vehicle was uninsured and untaxed throughout this period.

• Eventually, the vehicle was evidently mobile again, at which point the owner started to use FY57 XYV more regularly, whilst continuing to park and store it in Hollingdean, rather than obtaining a permit for their own street.

• The driver also often prefers to park on double yellows (and leave parked there for several days at a time).

• It is understood that this vehicle also relates to FY57 XYV, which although a less-regular visitor to Hollingdean, parks in exactly the same fashion and appears to belong to the same family.
