TRAFFIC: Issues with main street raised with the council HERE are the latest announcements from our community news correspondent Kathryn Smith for Burton-in-Kendal. Concerns from parishioners raised during the July parish council meeting included the overgrown state of Slape Lane and traffic on Main St. The condition of Slape Lane has been reported to Cumbria Countryside Access who has responsibility for footpaths and bridle ways as the council could not be involved formally in any self-help group. A concern about traffic was of buses waiting in the Square with engines running to make up time. This caused extra pollution and traffic congestion at the narrowest part of Main St.
