The community of Kirkby Lonsdale continues to come together, support one another and respond to the tragic events of last weekend.
Most of the town is very much ‘open for business’ and would appreciate people's support.
The Kirkby Lonsdale Community Recovery Partnership is encouraging people to investigate the unique independent shopping experience in the town. There are also many beautiful walks and open spaces to enjoy in the area.
Following discussions with the community, Westmorland and Furness Council is offering free parking in its car parks - New Road 1, New Road 2 and Market Square - up until the end of December to help support trade in the town.
The cordon area on Main Street runs from Avanti to Lunesdale Home and Gardens on the opposite side of the street. For their own safety, no members of the public can go beyond the cordon area.
£1.7 million of council funding will see 20 new and enhanced bus routes hit Westmorland and Furness roads next year.
From Spring 2025, communities will benefit from significant bus service improvements that will provide better access to employment, education and essential services.
A total of 11 new bus routes will be in operation across the area until Spring 2026, directly addressing needs highlighted through the Council’s extensive consultation with over 2,000 people. The funding will also keep nine existing bus services running until November 2025 which were originally restored or enhanced earlier this year by the council.
