Save Our Green Spaces Petition

If you haven't already signed or seen this petition, or are naware of the issues behind it, do have a look as the proposals it deals with could have major effects on the future shape of Fellside and Greenside. The issues involved are around new building on greenfield sites and the petition simply calls for a Poll so that those living or working in the Kendal area can vote 'yes' or 'no' to the SLDC's Land Allocations Document after the arguments both for and against the plans have been given an evenhanded airing.
