- Need for a sign indicating change of priorities at miniroundabout outside Queen's. Encouragement to people to use car park in Windermere (Broad Street). Reasonable residents permits? Free short term (1 hour) to counteract street parking. Persuade stage coach to lower fares so people will use buses. Proper provision of a connection between Braithwaite Fold Car Park and Bowness to encourage parking there. Discourage parking on Birthwaite Road. Only allow buses to exit from station yard across the traffic exiting Windermere. All other vehicles to go down Victoria Street and round miniroundabout. Respond

- More one-way signs at Glebe. Wash pavement by Steamer Quay sometimes to remove bird poo. Respond
- Too many signs. Toilets are disgusting in Windermere. Watering of plants not often enough. Pavements are a disgrace and when reported are only patched up with a bit of tarmac which doesn't last. Respond
- Signs - please can we have a nice new sign for Queen's Park - I've been asking for years. Toilets - are disgusting - I wouldn't visit them even if I was busting. Pavements - new ones uneven and puddle very quickly. Respond

- Re-open toilets on Bowness prom. Keep Baddeley clock toilets open all year. Improve signage re traffic flows in Windermere Centre. Get more 'A' Boards off pavements. Re-open toilets near station. Respond
- Lock the toilets at night. Better signage - park facilities, railway station. Parks - better management for library gardens and car park - cut back vegetation and better lighting. Unsightly and unkempt telephone exchange is there an uglier building in Lakeland? Respond

- Floral displays - baskets on lamp posts very good this year - keep up the good work. Replace signs which are in bad state of repair e.g some have black sticky tape over parts of them. Signs on tree at the Albert are a disgrace. Respond
- Toilets - I think signs on toilet doors saying 'these toilets are closed' are ridiculous. If the toilet signs were removed then visitors wouldn't know what they were missing. Signage - much of it is tatty and needs clearing or replacement. Lighting - don't want any more, as this is a rural area. Respond
- Filthy signs, getting worse. Bad image. Lose confidence they're getting to the Lake. Repeat signs. Respond
- Public toilets are essential - where do visitors go otherwise? The new Windermere pavements are so uneven. Wrong materials used. There are too many signs/adverts too distracting. Ensure lighting directed down, not skywards. Respond
- Pavements are dangerous in places. Toilets need care. Signage - too many irrelevant ones. Need cleaning. Too many bits and pieces of metal around Windermere shops. Pavements and cobbles dangerous. Respond
- Can WTC seek commercial sponsorship and run some of the public toilets e.g Glebe Road? Scope with local council tax too. Clean up signs and reduce them as there are too many. Can WTC spend more on hanging baskets - or co-ordinate color scheme with SLDC (v new boxes)? Improvement of the library Gardens, spoiled when azaleas cut back drastically. Respond
- Toilets - need better cleaning and need upgrading/rebuild of most toilets. Get hotels/pubs to open toilets to the public. Signage - signs need cleaning. Floral displays - should be sponsored by businesses. Respond
- Toilets - charge '50p 2 pee) and install fancy new ones. Signage - clean 'em'! Florals - more of 'em'. Parks are good ((I think) Good flower beds are well tended. Respond
- Attend to signage at entrance to Windermere Library, especially sign to Bowling Green. Respond
