Westmorland & Furness CC have now decided on their proposals for 20mph speed limits in Kendal and and other areas and have opened a formal consultation which closes on Dec 11th 2025. Instead of having a blanket 20mph limit on the town they have proposed a more fragmented approach which will cost far more on signage and it will create transitional 20/30mph points in residential areas which in turn will create more particulate pollution from road, brake, tyre abrasion dust and vehicle exhaust emissions as vehicles accelerate and brake at these residential transition points. If you wish to see the new proposals follow this link.
