A spokesperson for Westmorland and Furness Council said: “Many thanks to everybody who has already taken part in the consultation and made their views known. And if anybody intends to but hasn’t yet, the closing date is Friday 22 May.
“Schemes will only be introduced if wider support from residents can be demonstrated.
“This consultation is everybody’s chance to share feedback on the proposals.
“Some schemes in previous phases were changed to better reflect local need as a result of community feedback, or not taken forward if support wasn’t shown, so it is vital that people make their views known.”
Those who wish to feedback on their local 20mph proposal can do so by completing the online proposal consultation.
Paper copies of the consultation and scheme proposals are available at the following libraries: Appleby, Penrith, Kendal, Ulverston, Windermere, Barrow and Walney, as well as Kirkby Stephen Local Link and Ormsgill Library Link.
Before completing the consultation, residents are strongly encouraged to read the scheme proposals for the area to ensure they can sufficiently provide feedback.
