Kendal Futures Projects

The Kendal Futures Board has been operation for 3 years and has worked to secure funding packages and provide support and resource into the local economy. Through close partnership working with local businesses, public agencies and groups, Kendal Futures has helped deliver a range of positive impact projects.

Kendal’s regeneration programme features within The Sub Regional Action Plan 2008-12 and Economic Strategy. More recently the Eden and South Lakeland Forward (E&SL) has been established to drive delivery of and funding towards projects at a sub regional level and the KERAP is one of the four priority areas (alongside Penrith New Squares, Employment Sites and Windermere Waterfront) in its current business plan.

Kendal Economic Regeneration Action Plan

Kendal Futures is tasked with delivering projects and actions from the Kendal Economic Regeneration Action Plan (KERAP) published summer 2007. Kendal Futures has a Regeneration Programme Manager to work closely with Board members and private / public sector partners to develop and deliver a range of projects, from the 70-page action plan, aimed at resuscitating the economic heartbeat of the town.

The KERAP document was refreshed at a public meeting in summer 2010 and priority projects within the KERAP have been set. The Board agreed that a refresh was required to reaffirm existing priorities and to establish new priority projects, particularly in areas where projects are developing or have since been delivered.
