MP Calls for Parliamentary Debate on Polegate Parking Crisis

James MacCleary, Liberal Democrat MP for Lewes - which includes Polegate, Seaford, Newhaven, and surrounding villages - has called on the Government to urgently address the growing crisis of anti-social parking in Polegate, which is making life miserable for local residents and businesses.

In Parliament, James highlighted the daily impact of dangerous and inconsiderate parking  - and the total lack of effective enforcement to tackle it.

He is calling for a dedicated parliamentary debate to explore how the Government can give local councils the powers and resources they need to deal with the problem properly.

James said: “People in Polegate are fed up with anti-social parking which blocks pavements, damages our high streets and causes chaos outside their homes. Local businesses lose out, residents are forced to put up with it -  and nothing changes. That’s simply not good enough.

“We need urgent action to stop this blight on our communities. This is why I’m calling for an urgent debate in Parliament on the Polegate parking crisis. I’ll keep pushing ministers to step up and make sure towns like Polegate, Seaford, Newhaven and our surrounding villages aren’t left to suffer because of a lack of enforcement and support.”
