Petition Details

Return chesterfield canal to free fishing

Additional Information

The canal as been free fishing for many years all of a sudden Derbyshire county council have decided to start charging!
If you look around most towns and cities there councils offer at least 1 stretch of water for people to fish .
We are in a cost of living crisis and this could potentially be taking away some people’s only escape from the real world!
Make Derbyshire county council reverse this decision to charge people most people I have spoken with won’t pay this as it’s not value for money !
