- Consistently the problem of transport raises its head. Not only is bus transport the most expensive in the country but statistics show us that 20% (or perhaps more/of the households in the area have no car of their own). Why is the cost from Kendal to Barrow so much lower than the cost from Kendal to Ambleside.. Respond
- Ellerthwaite Square needs re-thinking. Public transport is too expensive. Respond
- Transport - bus and trains far too expensive. Would be used more if cheaper and trains more frequent say Manchester, Airport, Preston etc. Respond
- Review town centre traffic to improve flow. Parking charges are ridiculous for such a local area, dearer than Kendal. Ripping off tourists and locals alike. Bus fares are to high. Cheaper in most cases for people to use taxis if in a group. Encourage us of train facilities to ensure its survival and links with the outside world. Respond
- More off road parking plus free parking to encourage workers to park out of town. Park and Ride. Oak St an Broad St to be made one way. Free bus two to three times per week to Booth's etc for all. Residents parking permits. Subsidised rail travel for residents. Park on alternate side of the road to clean easily. Respond
- Bus fares are much too high, so also are the fares on the boats. Parking fees are also too high. Respond
- 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
- Buses are too expensive for family use - visitors or locals. Gullies (!) are not cleaned properly. A very large number of gullies down Lake Road between Brook Road and Helm Road are usually blocked - even just after clearing. Also gullies out Costa Coffee and Stags Hotel. Respond
- Parking should be free - not sufficient for the numbers visiting Windermere. Traffic - should be diverted via Rayrigg Road to avoid congestion. Only visitors interested Windermere should be encouraged. Bus service at weekends and more bus services to Bowness. Respond
