Dignity and Respect

As the towns folk remain devisive regarding their winter wonderland, my wonderland is how it is justified to allow trucks and Heavy Duty vehicles to thunder along the roads with historic buildings hundreds of years old either beside them and between.

Between the town council and the local press the Money numbers add up toward having an adequate amount of money to consider a mini vamp of the Kirkland Area, the agreed reason being to assist and encourage a proportion of the million or so extra people expected to enter the town as a result of the completion of the K- Shoes project (spring the proposed completion date)

For Kendal to properly absorb those numbers of visit the city centre, in my opinion, should be pedestrianised fully for a mile radius from the town centre, take a look at York, a superb example of what an historical town can achieve when it wants, and..... it stops those trucks that vibrate and shake our architectural history, it may be in small amounts however damage is acumalative, as remedy for this situation buildings should be regularly monitoring............ and so damn peaceful as to allow a fuller chance to absorb the vibrations of history that resonate.
