Council to review town's car parking spaces
Ever held your breath squeezing into Kendal’s tight parking bays? Good news: the council’s launching an 8-month parking use review (Aug-Mar) to shape future strategies. Starting September, Westmorland Shopping Centre’s car park gets upgrades—2.4m bays expand to 2.6m, pillar-side spots over 3m. Fewer total spaces, but the council will add more visitor/resident parking elsewhere to compensate. Councillor Andrew Jarvis calls it a trade-off for a better modern driving experience.
