@CumbriaArchives I remember being there as that is me in the centre of the picture with my mum!

The Queen meeting crowds at Abbot Hall, Kendal, in 1985, on her way to Barrow to launch a submarine. Do you remember the visit, or any other Royal visits?#HBAHBeingThere #KendalArchives #kendal

Coronavirus is not going to solve the world's climate crisis “If the government gets its response right, it could steer us out of this current health crisis, and away from the climate crisis that still awaits us once this is over” metro.co.uk/2020/03/27/don…

The merits of social distancing. And why moving early can make a difference...

I understand approach of gvmt - CMO and GVSA have been impressive. But I still don’t understand lack of testing. If you’ve had mild virus, you need to know you’ve had it. Then you can look after / visit relatives, get back to work etc. Usual caveat - I’m not an expert. Thoughts?

Kendal Futures is a partnership that represents businesses and stakeholders. We wish to develop a bold Vision for the town, which will guide future decision making and change in Kendal.

But I'm NOT in favour of calling the Kendal Northern Development Route a "Bypass", pretending it's going to "relieve congestion" when it won't. That's mis-selling of the worst kind. @madebycropper

Thanks for the follow, Mark. To be clear, I'm very much in favour of the creation of new development sites for key Kendal businesses. I was vocally in support of the Ratherheath Business Park, for instance. @madebycropper

Help shape a future vision for Kendal! Welcome and intro to kick it off on Friday 4th October, 2pm at the Kendal Shakespeare Centre. Everyone welcome! @KendalFutures
