Our meeting place:
The Scout & Guide Headquarters,
The Croft, Bures

Access to Scout and Guide Headquarters

Access to the HQ by car is from the Sudbury Road entrance (B1508) just past the cottages
(Croft End). You must only access this entrance and exit via The Croft ensuring a One-way System is operational. This helps minimize traffic congestion. However, residents returning home will be entering The Croft from the High Street. You do not have right of way and courtesy should be given to residents at all times. When dropping off and collecting please be aware of resident’s right of access to all homes in The Croft particularly to the cottages opposite and beyond the Scout & Guide Headquarters.

Speed limit down The Croft is 10mph.

At no time should you exit via the Sudbury Road, as it is on a dangerous corner.

If you require seeing a Leader at the end of the meeting – please come down at least
10 minutes before the meeting finishes and park your car in the car park so as not to block the road – thanks.

Help to keep traffic flow down – please car share, walk or cycle – thanks.
