Almost 1,000 people have already backed a fresh push to get an outdoor swimming pool in Fakenham.
The voluntary group Active Fakenham last week launched a campaign for a lido, which its chairman, Richard Crook, said had been a burning issue in the town for many years .
The petition has so far gathered hundreds of signatures and Mr Crook said: I ve looked at the figures and over half of the people [who have signed it] are in NR21 postcodes, so it shows there is a groundswell of local support.
