I WOULD like to thank Derek Lomax from Crosscrake for his query concerning the legal status of the common land by New Road in Kendal (Letters, February 8, 'Common land regulations').
He suggests it would have been legal for the cars to continue to park on the common. This is not the case.
We researched this in detail and I would encourage Mr Lomax, or anyone else who has queries about the decision, to visit the homepage of our website where the council’s Chief Executive gives a full explanation of the situation: www.southlakeland.gov.uk
I would be delighted to meet with Mr Lomax or anyone who needs more information. Please do get in touch via phone or email. My details are on the SLDC website.
Councillor Giles Archibald
Leader, South Lakeland District Council
