A COUNCILLOR has welcomed plans to transform cycling and walking infrastructure in Kendal. Councillor Jon Owen’s comments came after Cumbria County Council launched a consultation asking for people’s feedback to help shape new plans which aim to improve the town’s infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians. The Kendal town councillor, who is also a South Lakeland District Council councillor for Kendal North, revealed that Kendal was knocked out of the running for The Sunday’s Times’ Best Places to live due to a ‘confusing gyratory system’. Kendal- alongside Barrow and Carlisle- is one of the first to undergo consultation for the Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans.
