1) Bampfield Street & Hurst Crescent Controlled Parking Zone

We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to introduce controlled parking zones (CPZs), also known as residents’ parking schemes, on Bampfield Street and Hurst Crescent in South Portslade. These residential streets currently experience significant overcrowding from vehicles, making it increasingly difficult for local residents to park near their homes. Many residents, including those with only one vehicle, struggle to find parking due to some individuals owning multiple vehicles, alongside regular use of the area by tradespeople and commuters who park for free before travelling into Brighton. The lack of parking controls places an unfair burden on residents and negatively impacts daily life. Introducing controlled parking and resident permits would help prioritise parking for local households, reduce congestion, and improve fairness and accessibility on these streets.
