Out of touch?

Lots seems to happen in Kendal while little happens here in Ulverston.

Is this correct?

Here it states:

POSITIVE RESULT FOR KENDAL BID

Businesses in Kendal have given a resounding yes to creating a Business Improvement District (BID). This positive vote now means Kendal will invest up to £1,000,000 over the next 5 years on a comprehensive marketing campaign, improvements to the appearance of the town centre, new car parking initiatives, group business initiatives and creating a strong business voice for the town.
The proposal ‘Kendal’s better together’ was well supported with 72% of the vote and 68% of the rateable value.  43% of the 696 businesses eligible to take part did vote with 217 of the 301 votes cast supporting the BID proposal.

Martyn Nicholson, chair of the BID steering group, said: “ The future for Kendal is bright. It’s fantastic and very exciting.” See our full response here.

Views from a local resident

“I have been reading about the Kendal BID project with interest. As a local person who wants and try’s to shop locally I would like to see the town centre thrive and welcome any initiative.   I love Kendal but the recession has taken its toll on everyone the action taken now will define its future. Good luck with the initiative and I have my fingers crossed.” Denise Dent – Local Kendal Resident

Is the equivalent happening here in Ulverston or are we being left behind?
