AN HGV travelling down Shepherd's Hill into Haslemere town centre narrowly avoided crashing into a shop front as it emerged onto the main road last week.

Witness Sarah Matthews, from Fernhurst, said: "You can't blame the drivers, they are following an A road.

"Unless there's a change to road designations to distinguish between those with one single, narrow carriageway in each direction it's a problem we have to live with."
