Bloody green middle class hippy ‘East Brighton’ residents probably don’t run cars anyway 😉
Worse we had was a Dutch camper van parked outside for 8 weeks without moving. In the end the council stuck ‘move it or we’ll tow it’ sticker on it. Took a mechanic a day to get it running before they could drive it away.
It is a bit of a pain when you can’t park in your own road due to commuter/tourist cars but as long as you’re sensible it’ll be ok.
I’d still go for the road just by the level crossing at Portslade and get the train into Brighton though. Probably as quick aqs coming in on the A23/A27 and getting to where Tim is suggesting as traffic is less on that side of the city.
