CROYDON RIOTS: Cycle shop back in the saddle
8:00am Wednesday 8th August 2012 in Croydon By Andrew Binner
Manager George Clare, from GB Cycles, South Croydon said the shop is fine and after long discussions with the insurance company they have been fully compensated.
Mr Clare said: "We weren’t affected too badly. We had one window and some expensive stuff nicked but it wasn’t too serious.
"The insurance company took a long while to pay out, they took six months to pay us £28,000 but we got it eventually we are ok now.
"I think people still think twice about coming to Croydon and the shopping isn’t as good as it used to be."
