KENDAL VISION - INSPIRATION FOR CHANGE IN KENDAL

THEIR VIEWS Great place to live – quiet and close to the countryside. Easy access to town – especially on foot. The community in Kendal is great – we feel very much a part of it. Plenty of good jobs and entrepreneurial opportunity. Good schools - More young people facilities in the town would be good. Cycling into town down Windermere Road very challenging – too much traffic. RESIDENT SUGGESTIONS Slow the traffic – ‘ 20’s plenty’. Address the parking on the streets – reduce dominance of the car. ‘Soon to be replaced’ pedestrian bridge to accommodate cyclists. Remove speed bumps – but enforce 20mph zones. Encourage more people to use healthy transport alternatives. Investigate high-tech links with Lancaster University for small business start ups.
