Officer Response:

1.    Residents of Hollingdean were written to in April of this year to enquire if they would like to be considered for a residents parking scheme. This was the preliminary stage to gauge if there was support for a scheme. There are three stages to a full parking consultation; The preliminary stage, detailed design stage and traffic regulation order stage. All three are subject to Committee approval at their respective stages.

 

2.    The results of the preliminary consultation will be presented to the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee on 20th September. The Hollingdean webpage will be updated after the Committee decision with the results and next steps.
