20mph speed limit consultation
We Felt it was important that Kendal’s Businesses were aware of the consultation process with regards to the proposed 20mph within Kendal.
Below is the address of the council website page and the relevant text from the page:
20mph speed limit consultation
We’re running a consultation our proposals introduce 20mph speed limit schemes in several locations in the Westmorland and Furness area. Find more information about the proposals and how to give your feedback.
In December 2023, we introduced an application process to make it easier for communities to request 20mph speed limits.
We’ve since received a number of suggestions for speed limit schemes, covering 79 locations in Westmorland and Furness. We’re progressing scheme proposals over a three year period, which will end in 2027.

Criteria for successful 20mph proposals
Proposed schemes under consultation
The Eden, Furness and South Lakeland Locality Boards have approved a further 24 ‘community backed’ 20mph schemes. We’ve prioritised these schemes for delivery in 2025 to 2026.
We’re now inviting you to share your views on the proposed introduction of 20mph speed limits across these 24 communities.
Have your say
This is your chance to have your say on the introduction of lower speed limits and to shape designs for the schemes. The schemes will only be introduced if we can demonstrate that we’ve received further support from the community, so it’s essential that we hear your views.
Consultation dates
The consultation opened on Wednesday 4 June 2025. It will close on Friday 18 July 2025.
