For many years the Kendal Civic Society has given Design Awards to those buildings and developments that have made a significant contribution to the quality of the built environment in the town.

The society is considering making an additional award in 2017 or 2018 which will be given for the best improvement to the appearance or amenities of the town resulting from renewal and repairs arising from the floods in December 2015.

The society hopes that this will stimulate a desire to create something better from the catastrophe that befell so many areas of Kendal.

We should be very glad to hear of any interesting schemes that emerge during the next few months.

Mrs P. Hovey

Hon. Secretary Kendal Civic Society
