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. This silver Renault Clio is well known to residents, not because it belongs to anyone here, but because it is so often parked as close as possible to Fiveways.

• On many days it can also be found positioned outside the closed shopfront of Living At Fiveways, kept there for convenience while the owner avoids paying for a permit in their own area.

• 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.
