Croft Holme Lane is a rather intimidating stretch of road for cyclists and it has no cycle lane.The sign was installed many years before the redesign of Mitchams Corner in 2003. However, there is no sign to indicate the shared use pavement in front of the stationary shop opposite. See also #3120, #16530, #16529

The sign was removed in June 2009 - #17382, #17383 and end of route signs added - #17384, #17385 and route signs added to the shared use pavement - #17386, #17387.

Take care on the High Street though, it is reduced to single file for most of its length by cars parked in the road and unfortunately drivers are not patient. A woman was killed close to here in 2008 having been hit head on.

Doesn't look very busy does it ?

Doesn't look much different to today really !

Was that £33 million, plus another £2.4 million for resurfacing the "car park" really money well spent ?
