MT70 FUJ

Silver Renault Clio

• The stretch of road leading up to Fiveways is already one of the noisiest, busiest, and most congested corners of Hollingdean.

• Every additional non-resident vehicle parked there makes it worse, adding to the traffic squeeze, the constant stopping and starting of engines, and the fumes that hang in the air at peak times.

• MT70 FUJ is one of those cars. On many days, it can be found parked outside the closed shopfront of Living At Fiveways, kept there for convenience while the owner avoids paying for a permit in their own area.

• The rest of the time, this silver Renault Clio is found parked in Hollingdean, as close as possible to Fiveways.

• MT70 FUJ does not belong to a Hollingdean resident. The owner lives elsewhere in the city but consistently chooses to park here, taking advantage of Hollingdean’s lack of parking restrictions to secure a free space within walking distance of their home.

• While it might not take up as much space as a large SUV or a camper van, the effect is still the same: one less space for a resident, more cars circling the neighbourhood looking for somewhere to stop, and more idling engines adding to noise and pollution.

• Vehicles like MT70 FUJ are part of the reason Hollingdean feels the spillover effects of neighbouring controlled zones so sharply.

• There is no excuse for this vehicle to be here other than laziness and selfishness. The owner is just as entitled to a permit in their own area as anyone else who lives there, yet they choose to shift their parking burden onto Hollingdean instead.
