Townend Dental Practice, Caterham

⛔️ Dear Patients
Please note *Important message about road closures close to the practice, which may affect your journey for your upcoming appointment.

⛔️There is a planned road closure (due to drainage works) on Coulsdon Road at the same time between the *15th August to 2nd September*.
These are the roads that you use to travel from Old Coulsdon to Caterham on the Hill along by the fox pub/Coulsdon common.

⛔️Unfortunately with the road closed there will be an additional detour required to get the practice (an added approx 5-10 minutes journey time).
So please do leave extra time to travel to your appointments.
If you are coming from the Purley direction, you will need to use Old lodge lane instead to pass Kenley aerodrome. If you are coming from the Hooley/Chipstead direction you may want to take Dean Lane/Rook lane (entrance by the A23 Starbucks) and up through Chaldon to access the practice.
If you are coming from the Caterham direction your journey will be unaffected.

⛔️We are sorry for any inconvenience and hope the disruption doesn’t affect our business/appointments too much during this time, as it will affect other local businesses.

So please do leave more time than usual to get to and from your appointments and let us know if we can help. Thank you, Townend Dental Practice
