KENDAL VISION - INSPIRATION FOR CHANGE IN KENDAL

“Employ gardeners to nurture green spaces, rather than contractors to strip green spaces.” GREEN BLUE HANDS ON PLANNING SESSION ON SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2019 “I was born here and I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. I went to visit London once. Never again!” SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2019 THURSDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2019 “Learn from elsewhere. What about a community led ‘Altrincham Market’ food hall idea?” FRIDAY 4TH OCTOBER 2019 “Turn neglected ‘grot spots’ to ‘green spaces’ by more planting with mature species (trees and flowering plants).” “People are too reliant on cars and are obsessed with parking, to the detriment of the environment.” SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2019 “Why do we only care about the environment during the one weekend of the Mountain Festival.” WORKSHOP ATTENDEE SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2019 “Transport isn’t linked – you can’t get back from airport after about 8pm – it’s easier to get to London!” THURSDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2019 FRIDAY 4TH OCTOBER 2019 “We need to ensure a well-functioning and active arts and cultural network which responds to the needs of the community.” “My dream notion is to put the canal basin back and build houses around it.” CANAL HEAD WALKABOUT SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2019 “It’s too easy to go to Asda and Sainsbury’s so people don’t shop in the town centre.” FRIDAY 4TH OCTOBER 2019 “We need a much better visitor welcome/ experience at entry points. Kendal’s bus and train stations are quite unloved and it’s not clear where to go or what there is to do.” PUBLIC WORKSHOP SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2019 SATURDAY 5TH OCTOBER 2019 “Young people love Kendal but they are not coming back due to lack of well paid jobs.” FRIDAY 4TH OCTOBER 2019 “In Berlin they have an area completely free of planning for young people to create new enterprises without limits. This would attract young people to stay in Kendal.” KENDAL VISION 2020 | THE EVENT THAT CHANGED KENDAL 115
