WHEN there were plans to improve the Market Place at Kendal we were told that a giant screen would be purchased for use in festivals.

The England team progressed much further in the World Cup than we could have imagined and when I watched England matches on television lots of towns seemed to have used the occasions as a public entertainment.

South Lakeland district councillors have made a huge error in ignoring this. Imagine the business opportunity with the pubs benefitting and street food available in the hot sunshine.
