It was reported too that the 41 bus may soon be changed to a circular route, : click here for more details about these, and all the Council’s concerns.

Drink and Breakfast on the Green
Just to let you know that St Mark’s Church will be using The Green at 8.45 to 9.30am on Tuesdays. This will initially be for a trial period during term time - October to December 2026.
We have received approval from the Parish Council.
Please be assured that we will be using a small gazebo that will be taken down after the event has finished and we will make sure that all litter is removed.
The aim is for Parents/ carers after the school drop off to have a drink and a chat with church members and clergy. We wish to see what they would like the church to provide for them and their families.
You are, of course, most welcome to come across for a chat and a cuppa. If you have any questions please contact the St Mark’s church on:- admin.kendalsouthchurches@gmail.com
