Councillors oppose deregistration of New Road common land
10:57pm Monday 6th October 2008
THE future of New Road common land provoked a lively discussion among councillors in Kendal tonight (Monday).
At a meeting of Kendal Town COuncil the majority of councillors objected to a proposed application by South Lakeland District Council to deregister the land and provide substitute land for designation near Parkside Road in Kendal.
The state and use of the common land near New Road has been a contentious issue for many years, with many residents claiming it to be an eyesore.
However, the land is currently used as a car park and is one of the few places where people can park for free in the town centre.
Councillors agreed that something had to be done to improve the land, but refused to support the idea of deregistration.
