LV56 BKL
Blue Vauxhall Astra
Residents believe that this Vauxhall Astra has been abandoned on Hollingbury Crescent.
Reports began in February 2024 (although the first photograph submitted was in March) that this was a non-resident vehicle, left parked extremely awkwardly (at an angle, a significant distance from the curb), and left unmoved ever since.
The vehicle is in a very poor state of repair with broken wing mirrors and flat tyres.
The owner is not a local resident.
There are any number of other vehicles seemingly abandoned in Hollingdean in this same fashion (some of them especially egregiously). As Hollingdean is 'free' to park in, many people use it as a place to store unwanted vehicles long-term, instead of obtaining resident's permits for their vehicles, for the area. in which they live.
In late-July this Astra did move, reappearing the same day on Adams Close, from which it - again - has not moved since.
