THE Westmorland Gazette website thisisthelakedistrict.co.uk has launched its first online polling station with a vote on the traffic changes proposed for Kendal.

Everyone is encouraged to register their level of support for the proposed changes - including re-routing traffice, to bus/cycle lanes to park and ride options - on our online vote.

The online voting option gives people in the town, as well as visitors, a chance to have a voice in future plans for one of the busiest streets in the Lakes.

Voting responses will be forwarded to the Kendal Traffic Steering Group.

With the voting technology in place, watch this site for future opportunities to give us your opinions on key news issues.
