Liverpool South Docks - British Waterways seeks partnership with sea-angling
organisation
British Waterways has held further talks with local, regional and national
representatives of sea angling organisations on Wednesday 21st January 2004.

This was the second meeting to be called by British Waterways to review the
historic policy by previous owners of not permitting sea angling on the
South Docks estate.

British Waterways, which successfully manages 2,000 miles of inland waterway
in Scotland, England and Wales, was able to listen to sea anglers present
about their concerns that there is a reduction of access to fishing marks
nationally due to the growth in waterfront developments.

Discussions were very constructive and considered issues surrounding public
safety, insurance, signage and licensing.

British Waterways has agreed to send the sea angling organisations present a
copy of the British Waterways' Standard Angling Agreement modified to
incorporate Sea Angling off Liverpool's world-renowned waterfront.

Currently British Waterways is keen to identify a single sea-angling
organisation that can manage, competently and under licence, the designated
fishing areas.

As a public body, British Waterways would welcome any practical proposal
from 'bona fide' sea-angling organisations that believe they have the
ability to operate such a system.

All parties agreed to reconvene on Wednesday 11th February 2004 to give
those present from sea-angling clubs a further opportunity to discuss the
implications of British Waterways' position within their own membership.

If you need any further information, please contact Terry Horan or Bill
Broadbent on 0151 709 6558.

I would be interested to see what happens, we have a similar situation
down here on the Medway where a lot of private land which fronts the river
has been developed. When the developement first started there was easy
access, but now most areas have been either gated or patrolled by private
security firms who don't allow access after hours.

C'mon Leon, what's your thoughts on this?
