KENDAL VISION - INSPIRATION FOR CHANGE IN KENDAL

12 8 6 OPPORTUNITY AREAS HALLGARTH ESTATE The team visited a number of town edge estates, including Sandylands, Kirkbarrow and Hallgarth, during the early town analysis and bus tour. It became clear that the these areas had a number of shared challenges, including isolation, deprivation, lack of social mobility and poor quality public realm. Although community engagement and the public workshops identified many challenges in each of these areas, for the Vision we focussed on the possible change at Hallgarth. The Vision team recognises that just this type of consideration - involving the local community - would be a valuable exercise for other estates throughout the town, which are poorly served by public transport, shops and community facilities. BIKES, BUSES & TRAINS HOUSING KEEP COLLABORATING - THINKING AHEAD! Key Themes Addressed: Hallgarth Estate is situated to the north west of Kendal, some 20 minutes walk from town centre shops and amenities. The railway runs through the area with new allocated housing sites to the north and west. 1 SUSTAINABLE KENDAL Proposed buildings Existing buildings retained Upgraded public realm New public square KENDAL VISION 2020 | THE POSSIBILITIES 70
