GX67 MSY

Black Kia Picanto

• GX67 MSY is a Kia Picanto that residents recognise as a daily commuter vehicle using Hollingdean as a routine place to leave their car during the working day.

• It is seen arriving every weekday morning and is almost always left on Hollingbury Crescent or the immediately surrounding roads, positioned as close as physically possible to Fiveways.

• After parking, the driver is observed walking off towards Fiveways, either to work locally or to continue travelling further into Brighton.

• The consistency of this behaviour is what residents find most aggravating. This is not occasional overspill or short-term visiting. The vehicle is using Hollingdean as a predictable, long-term commuter parking location instead of other options available to them, such as the park-and-ride.

• Each weekday, it removes another space from an area already overwhelmed by displacement parking from neighbouring controlled zones.

• The effect extends beyond the loss of a single parking space. Vehicles like this Kia contribute directly to the daily congestion at the Fiveways end of Hollingdean, increasing traffic circulation as drivers search for spaces, adding engine noise throughout the day, and worsening local air quality in streets that already carry heavy through-traffic.

• Residents experience the cumulative impact of dozens of similar commuter vehicles that treat Hollingdean as a free extension of the Fiveways parking area.

• This is a deliberate and repeated choice by the driver. They have simply decided that it is easier to leave their vehicle in Hollingdean than to use legitimate parking where they live or work, shifting the inconvenience and consequences onto the people who actually live in the neighbourhood.
