As a Hove resident, I am very concerned that Hove Rugby Club has applied for planning permission for 43 parking spaces within Hove Recreation Ground.

I fear once these spaces were full cars would park on adjacent grass, causing danger to the public who also use the rec.

The proposed entrance in Shirley Drive would be a hazard on a very busy road.

I am obtaining signatures for a petition objecting to this proposal which will be presented to the city council.

If anyone would like to it, please contact me on 01273 507138.
