TWO town centre managers, who were on temporary contracts, are to be given permanent posts within South Lakeland District Council.

Kendal town centre manager Maria Appleton, and the Ulverston-based town centres manager, Jayne Harris, who has responsibilities in several town centres, were originally employed on three-year contracts due to end in September 2001.

The decision is due to be rubber stamped by a meeting of the full council Tuesday, October 10.
