White Fiat 500

• This little white Fiat is regularly seen in one of Hollingdean’s most contested areas, right up against Fiveways where parking is already scarce and traffic is heavy.

• It displays a valid resident permit for another area of the city, yet it is routinely left in Hollingdean during the day while the owner commutes elsewhere.

• This is not a car visiting friends or family, it is a non-resident vehicle using our streets as a free daytime parking spot, despite there being legitimate options parking available to the driver where they are visiting.

• The problem is not just the loss of a space. This stretch is already one of the most congested in Hollingdean, packed with commuter cars, permit-zone spillover, and constant through traffic.

• Every non-resident vehicle here forces residents further from their homes and contributes to more circling for spaces, more idling engines, and more noise.

• The choice to leave this car here is deliberate. The owner has a valid permit and a place to park in their own neighbourhood but prefers to push the impact onto Hollingdean instead. For those who live here, it’s yet another reminder that our streets are being treated as an overflow lot for the rest of the city.
