Where the van can really work
Parking in Southwick is not just about whether a space exists somewhere on the street. The real question is whether the van can stop close enough to the entrance to load steadily and safely without repeated re-positioning.
That is why a fallback stop matters. If the first kerbside option is taken, the move should still have a workable second choice rather than losing time while the driver searches again.
What to confirm before move day
Check any bay rules, building restrictions, managed access or short-stay limitations early. In Southwick, useful stopping room can disappear fast on narrower residential stretches, so the job is smoother when the driver knows exactly which option is most realistic.
Even on a short move, a poor stop point can turn a quick load into a long back-and-forth carry.
