Black Volkswagen Polo

• Another non-resident vehicle recognised for regularly using Hollingdean for free parking, particularly over evenings and weekends.

• It has been noted that this Polo is also often seen parked in Zone 10 on Surrenden Road. It is understood that the owner lives in the Fiveways/Preston Park area and uses either Hollingdean for longer-term 'free' parking, or otherwise uses Surrenden (which is a light-touch scheme) when the parking restrictions are not active there.

• This selfish use of our roads only adds more pressure to the already very-congested corner of Hollingdean up against Fiveways whilst the owner should be using suitable permits for the area they either live or are visiting.

• Since first publishing, this vehicle has continued to come and go from Hollingdean regularly, until the start of December, when it arrived with a new Zone F permit attached to the windscreen (this is for the Fiveways area directly adjoining where this vehicle tends to park).

• This confirms that the vehicle is one of the many, many displaced vehicles using Hollingdean for free parking.

• Peculiarly, despite now having a valid permit for the owner's location in the adjoining permit zone, at the time of publishing the vehicle had been parked in Hollingdean for more than a week.
