Kirkby Lonsdale Town Team

Have your say on the future of Kirkby Lonsdale

What’s important to you about Kirkby Lonsdale? What are the things you love, and what would make the town an even better place to live, work in, study in and visit? 

The newly formed Town Team would love to know what you think. The Team is already working closely with Queen Elizabeth’s School/QE Studio who have developed the logo for us – we think it’s great and are very grateful to them.

Your views are essential to help shape a Place Plan which genuinely reflects the views and wishes of people in the town. A strong, community-led plan will help us identify funding opportunities and take meaningful steps towards positive change.

If you’re reading this and thinking – “I’ve heard all this before – nothing will ever change” – we are determined to make this work for the town.

The Town Team is here to secure funding for projects which local people believe will make a difference, and that’s why your view counts. We’re trying to identify the most pressing issues within our community, and the ones which will make the biggest difference to all of us. 

All the views we receive will be fed into a detailed analysis which we will publish and, from that and other consultations we will be holding with local groups, we will produce a draft Place Plan for further discussion and agreement by the community. 

We’re going to be holding a series of informal events over the next few months where you can call in, talk with members of the Town Team and give us your view.

We’ll be asking four questions:

1. What is missing in Kirkby Lonsdale?
2. What are the key things we should be improving?
3. What are the large and small things which will make a difference to the town?
4. What would make the biggest difference to the town?
