Plans for the £130m redevelopment of Kendal’s Canal Head are being unveiled to the public. Gilbert, Gilkes and Gordon will reveal details of the plans during consultation next week.

The plans include:

200 new houses

A 100-bed hotel

 650 car parking spaces

5,000 square metres of office space

Several retail stores

An extension to the canal, a new bridge over the River Kent and even a walkway to link Kendal Castle with the town are also proposed.

Can you imagine the manpower it will take to complete this project? I hope it goes through. Can you imagine the amount of Kent jobs it will create and secure?
