There was a proposal by one/some East Anglian local 'authorities' to
charge fishermen for angling from the beach and piers. Did this proposal die a deserved death, or has the imposition crept in, unobserved by me? -- Rusty Hinge |

Did this proposal die a deserved death, or has the imposition crept in, unobserved by me? No idea, sorry. They can probably charge for access to piers, quaysides and other built structures but the foreshore, between the tides, is mostly Crown property and so outside the local authority remit. There are a few places where ownership and rights predate Magna Carta so charges *might* apply there. Seawalls are built structures btw so perhaps that's what was meant?

No, they (Eastern Daily Press) were talking about the beach too. I shall have to bite the bullet and get a bus to Yarmouth and ask an angler when the time's right. As a wildfowler (Rtd.) I do know what the law of the foreshore *was*, but I believe things have changed a little since the 1950s/60s. -- Rusty Hinge |

Not a great deal aIui - perhaps the charge mooted was a toll for crossing some stretch of dry land to get -to- the beach? We have several toll-charging private roads/car-parks leading to otherwise free beaches down here in Dorset.

I'm just preparing for the time they let me drive again - for which I need a pacemaker. And there is no hurry - I have to rebuild a motorcycle and hang a chair on it before I can think about carrying all the gear (and the catch...). Pip-pip -- Rusty Hinge |
