Any of you work at Hove Town Hall?

Was fuming today.
I needed to go into the centre of Brighton for 2-3 hours to do some business.
As time was generally tight today decided to drive to Norton Road car park and get bus to the clock tower.
I arrived at the car park about 11.45 and drove from the bottom to the top and vice versa, not a space to be found.
Thought this was odd as many workers have taken Easter holiday to be with their children, so why was it full up.

I then wondered if those who work at Hove Town Hall have been given preferential parking.

Anyway, had to park on the street, with, of course a 2 hour limit as opposed to the many hours allowed in the car park.

Meant I had to leave some business unfinished!!!

Seaside car park full on sunny day in school holidays.......who'd have thought it.........!

 

[Tarpon]

Er...in no particular order:

Weather
Beach
Easter holidays

Isn't working at a Town Hall an oxymoron?

Likewise, when I can't find a car parking space at lunchtime in a major seaside resort slap-bang in the middle of the school holidays, I too am FURIOUS.

Usually with myself - for being an idiot.

The important thing is to have someone to BLAME.

How come Paul Barber has been let off the hook?

Don't buy any of those comments.

Have used this car park all year at many different times of day. Never a problem for business people to get a space.Even in the middle of summer on very hot days spaces are available over the weekend.

No, am sure it is to do with all the King's House staff relocating to HTH.

Kings House has shut. Many of those who were working there are now based in Hove Town Hall and I assume those who would have parked down Grand Ave etc now use Norton Rd multi story.

 

[Stoichkov]

There's always space down grand ave now if that helps!

This is the most riveting thread of the year.

Norton Rd is now full, as I found the other week, by about 9:30am

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Yes- there are now double the number of people working in Hove Town Hall. Also the council converted the all the basement parking spaces into cycle parking so there are less spaces and more people using them. I think some spaces are reserved for councillors (maybe just when they have meetings) and some people (the execs etc) will have permits to park there for free.

So yes you're now lucky to get a space after 9.30.

Have you tried looking for spaces in the 11hr p&d bays that there are around hove station & other streets - or park in Portland road where there is no parking restrictions or hove park area & get bus or train

Edit: I don't have this problem. Zone n permits. Thanks

As public servants, they should all be forced to use public transport IMHO. One rule for us and one for them...
