Kirkby Lonsdale
Town Council
Welcome to Kirkby Lonsdale Town Council webpage
If you have any queries about the web site or the Town Council please contact the Clerk.
Members of the public are welcome to attend the meetings and have an opportunity at each meeting to address the Council about any subject.
The Town Council, which is the most local level of government, works closely with Westmorland and Furness Council.
Most of the Towns Council’s expenditure goes on staff costs, maintaining its assets and keeping the Town clean and in good order. The Town Councillors are all unpaid and those staff costs are for outside contractors for ground and building maintinence.
Much time is spent in exercising whatever pressure it can on higher authorities for planning, highways and traffic control – to deal with issues affecting the quality of life of residents and keeping the town clean, safe, and in good order.
