Kendal Civic Society

Where it meets Stricklandgate Entry Lane is becoming ever more of an eyesore with parked cars, huge commercial bins and piles of cardboard, pallets and other waste from shops.  A letter to Eric Wright, the developers of Wainwright’s Yard produced a most sympathetic and helpful reply and it looked as though some effective action might at last be taken. However, in August there had still been no action taken top tidy the area up. The Society continue to follow this up as it is on an important historic thoroughfare from Fellside down into Kendal and is well used today. It must present a very bed impression of the Wainwrights Yard development and of the shops that make the mess!

We are still enguaged with our campaign against Large Wheelie Bins and Grafitti. These continue to blight our town and are an ever increasing eyesore that needs to be addressed.

Keeping Kendal tidy is a matter of great importance to the Society, albeit one of lower profile than some other of our objectives. At times, however, it seems a losing battle and can be very demoralising. So much litter and associated rubbish accumulates in Kendal’s highways, byways and public places that its effects can blight the architectural and other delights of our town. Council members of the Civic Society are really concerned about this and the purpose here is to give an update on our ‘war on litter’ and to outline ways in which Society members can help.
