Multi-storey Hove car park free plea
7:40am Saturday 27th October 2012 in News
Campaigners have collected more than 400 signatures calling for free parking in a multi-storey car park.
Conservative Party members created a petition asking for Brighton and Hove City Council to make parking free at weekends for everyone at the structure in Norton Road, opposite Hove Town Hall.
This would be extended to at all times for residents with Zone N parking permits. The petition was presented to the local authority at its full council meeting last night (October 25.
Central Hove ward councillor Andrew Wealls said: “It makes no sense to have a car park in the centre of Hove sitting empty – let people use it to benefit residents, visitors and local businesses.”
The issue will be referred to the council’s transport committee for further consideration at its meeting on November 27.

The petition is ludicrous, won't be progressed and people involved in it would do better spending their time cleaning the streets.

Great idea! My mother relives in norton road and she has a permit. There is a real problem with parking in that area. Sometimes if she arrives home at night she has to park streets away because norton road is so packed. I think she would appreciate this idea . It makes total sense. It's the same as using the road with a permit so why not the council muti storey at weekends. Bravo petition campaigners.
Personally don't care two hoots for your mother. The walk will do her good.
