Hundreds of people have signed a petition to stop flats being built in a town centre car park in Polegate.
Plans to turn the car park in Station Approach into 22 flats prompted local business owner and town councillor Christine Berry to organise a campaign against the scheme.
Mrs Berry said: "Polegate has enough parking problems as it is. If the plans are successful it will only make it worse.
"It's not just shoppers who use the car park, so do shop owners and commuters.
"We have had literally hundreds of people sign the petition since I started the campaign just after Christmas. I haven't had time to count them all yet but I keep collecting them."
The site is owned by London-based firm Development Securities, which submitted the plans to Wealden District Council.
The application is expected to be decided at the end of February.
Mrs Berry, who runs the Centre Drug Store, High Street, said: "We need better parking facilities as it is in Polegate. This major development will just make it a lot worse.
"I urge people to write to the council about this."
