Rother District Council backs down over beach angling ban


Great new that Rother District Council have finally seen sense. A concerted campaign led by Sussex Sea Angling Network and supported by local clubs and the Angling Trust yielded a 2000 signature petition and 1000's more people writing directly to the council. after initially dismissing the campaign the agreed to receive the petition and meet with anglers. The ban was part of a new bye law which will now be revised. Rother DC and the SSAN have released a joint statement and talks are ongoing. Hurray for the power of a good organised campaign.
