KV60 EVX

Black Toyota Verso

• Residents began to note that the owner of KV60 EVX was parking it in Hollingdean and then walking back to their home in Zone G in the early summer of 2024.

• This is yet another non-resident, from the adjoining residents permit zone, who has opted to use the 'free' parking in Hollingdean to store their vehicle, rather than buying themselves a permit for the area they have chosen to live in.

• This is one of quite literally hundreds of non-resident vehicles that use Hollingdean for 'free' parking. This is especially prevalent in the Westernmost corner of Hollingdean, up against Zone G (Hollingbury Road) and Zone J (Fiveways), where non-residents use our streets as part of their commute, as an alternative to buying permits for the area in which they live, or for their visitors, or simply as a place to dump rotting, unwanted and unloved vehicles.

• This misuse of our neighbourhoods has far wider-reaching impacts than simply reducing parking spaces for residents; it leads to a notable increase in traffic, noise, pollution, and congestion. Using Hollingdean like this has a demonstrable and significant impact on the residents who live here and could simply be resolved by these owners parking their own vehicles, at their own homes.
