Hollingdean Parking

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.
