Lara Croft could own a street in Derby

Description:

Tomb Raider franchise star, Lara Croft  might be getting her own street, Lara Croft Way, in the city of Derby.

Two names are sought for stretches of the new road, which are from Osmaston Road to Burton Road and Burton Road to Stafford Street. The new inner ring road is being built as part of the £36.2m Connecting Derby project.

It has been noted that there is a connection between Derby and Lara Croft. The studio behind the original Tomb Raider was based in Derby before shuttering in 2006.

A short list of eight names has been drawn up for two new stretches of Derby's inner ring road.

The city council invited members of the public to submit suggestions for names in July and received more than 100 ideas.

People can vote on the homepage of the council's website, http://www.derby.gov.uk/, or submit their preferences in writing to Sam Whitworth, Derby City Council, Roman House, Friargate, Derby DE1 1XB.
