Tourism concerns

A meeting to enable the Tourism Community in the town to discuss amongst themselves and with Town Councillors has been organised for :

Monday 23rd August at 5:30 pm at The Lantern House - coffee provided

The main topics are:

• The closure of the Tourism Information Centre in March 2011 and the financing of its replacement
• The importance of a dedicated web site for Ulverston Tourism

Other topics like the need and solutions for the town to be in charge of its own car parks and market need to be addressed in the future. This requires our South Lakeland District Councillors to work with other councillors from outlying areas that are not aligned to Kendal - a difficult but not impossible task. We need to buy back control of our car parks - I'm sure a deal could be struck to our mutual benefit.

The results of these discussions will then be presented to the Town Council at their meeting on Monday 6th September when it is hoped these concerns will be discussed by the council.
