I had to go to that huge blot on the landscape yesterday... proberly the biggest folly since Toby B. Liar preached WMD and 45 mins.
Anyhow back to the important bit.
Did you know that there's no visitors car park at County Hall?... or if there is its well hidden.
Worse... it seemed to me that their workers car park was half empty.
What's going on???

ps. I did see just one lonely car parked in a "car share" bay. Can't believe several hundred could fit in that... maybe they all were having a sickie? ?? ???

The reason county hall car park is empty is because the w*****s are too tight to pay 15p an hour. They now use parts of the Nevill, Fitztjohns Road and Christie Road as their free car park. Would not supprise me if the angry residents took some sort of action against these inconsiderant and often dangerously parked cars (flat tyres, scratched paintwork etc), but I obviously could not condone such actions.

I was speaking to someone at work today about parking etc. and he mentioned that the car parks in Uckfield and Heathfield were free. Now, there's an idea.

Be-Jaysus King of Nevill,
That's shocking.
Cry Havoc!... and loose the Dogs of War.
The bounders have no scruples... where will it all end?
After further investigation I am informed that there are 4 vistors spaces... they're not in the main car park, or "Priority Permit Holders Car Park" as it's now called (dunno what a priority permit holder is, a relative of Storm Drain Norman or a councillor's love child I expect).
Anyhow, somewhere there are 4 vistors spaces.

Part of the County Hall car park was created by pulling down the music library. Must be an indication of the level of culture in Lewes!

Uckfield and Heathfield will I am sure get a parking scheme in time. Anyway we have just under 6 months to let those at County Hall know our feelings about the parking. Send many letters to John Robbins, it may seem futile but its better than grumbling....and vote out the Tories at the next County elections.
The scheme is over complicated for a town the size of Lewes.

the car park is empty because it is for priority permit holders only. I work there and am a contracted car user but i am still not given one of the permits. We are not sure who the people are or how special you have to be to get a "Priorty permit".

Not too sure what a contracted car user is either! but interested to hear that you work there and still don't know what a Priority Permit holder is.
