Allow Fishing to continue thorough the Nov/Dec Covid lockdown
Allow Angling/Fishing to continue through the new lockdown as an outdoor activity
Fishing represents a huge industry in the U.K. (£4b + pa) and is our largest participation sport. Isolated and individual by its very nature, a few hours bank side is far safer than a tube journey to work, a shopping trip to Sainsbury or an 8 hour shift on a busy construction site! Sense must prevail here, for the mental and physical well being of all participants.
