KENDAL needs 250 signatures to be officially recognised as a 'Walkers are Welcome' town.
Town Mayor Cllr Tom Clare encouraged councillors to support the application for the accreditation at a town council meeting on Monday.
MORE TOP STORIES: Cllr Clare is working with the local Ramblers' Association to develop and publicise walks from the town.
A number of these, including a long distance one from Kendal to Lancaster, have now been drafted.
