TRADERS and motorists have won a number of concessions in the march towards pedestrianisation of the heart of Kendal, reports Michaela Robinson-Tate.
Following a public consultation about the pedestrianisation of Stricklandgate, which is due to be introduced as a six-month trial between Library Road and the town hall, a number of access restrictions have been agreed.
These include: residents/businesses with existing parking spaces to be permitted access at all times; buses and taxis will be permitted access for collection/drop off at all times; cyclists to be permitted access at all times; loading/unloading will not be permitted between 11am and 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday; Blue Badge holders will not be permitted access between 11am and 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday; and all other vehicles will not be permitted access at any time.
