BBC News writes:
An inspection found Kendal’s County Hall to be ‘physically, functionally, environmentally and economically obsolete’. The council is set to move its services from its historic County Hall after a report said it needed £7.4m in repairs…
… The hall was the headquarters of the former Westmorland County Council from 1939 to 1974 and also used by Cumbria County Council until a shake-up of local government in 2023.
