I read the report on plans for New Road at Kendal (Gazette, February 1, 'Town unveils events hub vision'). If they are anything like the grandiose, expensive plans for the Market Place one shudders to think of the outcome.

May I suggest what may seem to be a revolutionary idea to our council? Why not use our Market Place as Kendal's hub, as does every other market town? Cafes, pubs, a good beginning.

This way we could have our parking space again, but perhaps looking a little less bleak.
