GV57 JYH
Grey Toyota Yaris
GV57 JYH is yet another small, tatty car adding to the strain at the very top of Hollingbury Crescent, this time an old grey Toyota Yaris.
Just like HV60 DYO, it is believed to belong to a student living in the Fiveways area and is always parked as close as possible to Fiveways, in a stretch that is already overwhelmed by non-resident vehicles.
The behaviour is much the same. The Yaris sits unmoved for long stretches, sometimes shifting slightly over a weekend, before ending up back in the same place again.
For local residents, this means that spaces in one of the most congested corners of Hollingdean are effectively locked out on a near-permanent basis, with neither this car nor their owner connected to the neighbourhood in any way.
When cars like GV57 JYH and HV60 DYO are left here, the impact is compounded: more circling traffic, more frustration, and fewer spaces for those who actually live in the area.
It is a small snapshot of the wider problem facing Hollingdean, a neighbourhood used as a dumping ground by drivers from surrounding controlled zones who simply, selfishly, want to park as close as possible to their own homes without paying for a permit and at the cost of the residents who live here.
