A spokesperson at East Sussex County Council, which is responsible for parking restrictions in Eastbourne, said, “We receive many requests for new or changes to existing parking and waiting restrictions in Eastbourne.

“The proposals follow requests for changes to existing parking controls or where local residents, businesses or other road users want new controls to be introduced.

“There are areas where safety or access issues have been identified and it is felt necessary to introduce restrictions such as yellow lines or school keep clear markings.

“We want to hear people’s views on the proposals and whether they have any reason for the proposals not being installed.

After requests from local residents it is proposed to extend zone M and to introduce shared use (permit holders or two hour time limited waiting) parking bays in Dalton Road and in order to maintain safety at the school entrances, it is proposed to install no stopping on entrance markings School Keep Clear and no waiting restrictions in Chailey Close.

No parking on footpath or verge restrictions could also come in along Etchingham Road, Chailey Road, Kings Drive, Masden Road, Redford Close and Park Avenue.

Time Limited parking bays are planned for Seaside and Winston Crescent for motorists using the vets and local businesses.

Changes to no waiting restrictions are proposed in Saffrons Road and Stansted Road.
