PLANS to improve local highways could soon take place a lot quicker thanks to a vote by county councillors this week. Councillors approved individual budgets of £6,000 for each electoral area (division) to be spent on local highway-related work, enabling councillors to have a greater influence on small highway improvement in their local areas. The new money and power has gone down well with some, but others are more skeptical. Cllr Peter Thornton, the deputy leader of Cumbria County Council has already prepared his local list around Kendal. He said: I’m commissioning a study of the junction between Sparrowmire Lane, Horncop Lane, and Burneside Road, to see if it can be made safer. Also, to see if we can get a better crossing for schoolchildren coming from Hallgarth and crossing.
