Parking around Hove station

[jevs]

My wife's office is just about to move to Goldstone villas next to Hove station from Lewes. Presently, she walks to work so this is coming as a bit of a financial kick in the balls.

She's been told that parking around the area is going to cost around £5 a day...and that's a seriously big no-no after the added petrol plus having to finance a second car.

Is there anywhere around that area or within a 10-15 minute walk that's free parking ?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Train's a possibility but so is a car share. Trouble is, as her company has been bought out, things are changing and she might need her to go out on visits to clients etc.

The droveway is the nearest non permit area and I would say no more than 10 minutes walk away.

Think i might have to have a drive round the area before she moves (early December) and have a butchers.

I live near hove station and it's a nightmare to park as a resident - you would have to park at least a mile away if you wanted free.

Newtown road also has free street parking but then you know what used to be down there

She should push the boss and inform them that unless she has a free parking space or the company pay for her parking she will be getting the train and subsequently they will have to provide a car for her to visit clients

Look at the train times/cost too. It will be seriously cheaper than a second car, petrol parking once you include insurance, road tax etc. An annual season (gold card) is useful for weekend travel, cheaper days out for all the family. Sorry if I sound like Jimmy Saville!

Look in the area North of Old Shoreham Road, east of Shirley Drive and west of the Upper Drive. There is plenty of parking next to Hove Recreation Ground on Shirley Drive but you are then talking of a 15-20 minute walk down to Goldstone Villas which may not be pleasant in the pouring rain. As others have suggested you are better off using the train, it'll be much easier and in the long run less expensive.

Shirley Drive has a timelimit same as Hove park until you get past Hove Rec
