Angling Opportunities at The Eccles Quay Limited by Council Cuts and Poor Accessibility

In 2011, the Town Council drastically reduced fishing spots at The Eccles Quay from 22 to just 10, prioritizing paid moorings over local angling opportunities. This decision has congested the area, diminishing access and reducing the chances of catching fish like roach that used to thrive here. The remaining fishing spaces are only available from November to March and are not adequately accessible for disabled anglers, who face a lack of designated spaces and parking. Urgent improvements are needed to restore angling access for everyone.

Presentation Transcript

  1. AT THE BECCLES QUAY Angling opportunities minimised by Town Council in 2011 and poor disabled facilities!

  2. There used to be plenty of places • But in 2011 the Town Council reduced it from 22 on this Suffolk Bank to just TEN giving over space for paid moorings. • It deprives opportunity.

  3. Some great Roach migrate

  4. Now it is congested with very few places only 8 paces apart availableand only open for fishing 1 November to 24 March

  5. FOR THE DISABLED It certainly leaves a lot to be desired, with poor access in places

  6. Even the Kingfisher has been denied his respite! • The opposite Suffolk Bank has less space than at one time. • We think there should be dedicated disabled angling spaces! • AND DISGRACEFULLY THERE IS NO DISABLED PARKING!!

  7. The top end is narrow but quite fishable . . . and being near to Free Parking could also cater for the Disabled Angler and have dedicated spaces for them!

  8. Fat perch and friendly gudgeon for the youngsters
