Big changes for Keswick?

[Grumbler]

A report in the News & Star describes the main features of a consultant's report commissioned by the Keswick Area Partnership. Apparently welcomed by the Town Council, the report seems to have some interesting ideas, such as turning the Rawnsley Centre into a luxury hotel, luxury flats in the current pencil factory building and luxury homes associated with "a new connection with the lakeside".

I wonder why there is so much concentration on luxury?

Apparently leaflets will be prepared to inform the public about the recommendations.

The Rawnsley Center is not only used by the convention people & Kings Church, but also is used for some community activities. I wonder where the people of Keswick fit in here, what is there for the current users of Rawnsley Hall and those who can't do "luxury"?

I have never forgiven the convention for destroying the cricket field and turning it into a car park.
