web sites and blogs has attracted votes from all
over the world.

voted on-line. She said: "Lara Croft has become
a popular icon of modern, turn-of-the-century
culture. Her popularity in the polls has captured
the imagination of people throughout the world
but this is no surprise."
Lara
Croft Way had been shortlisted as a possible candidate
along with John Flamsteed Way, Griffon Way, Merlin
Way, Sorocold Way, Steve Bloomer Way, Eagle Way
and Mercian Way. Voting will conclude January
