Campaign for improved access for disabled anglers
A COUNCILLOR is lobbying for improved disabled access to fishing lakes.
Colchester Councillor, Kim Naish, has highlighted High Woods Country Park and Castle Park as examples.
Mr Naish raised his concerns at a Strategic Overview and Scrutiny Panel last week.
He hopes the council will investigate improvements.

What we need is a campaign to protect our wildlife, including our fish, from these people who take legalised pleasure in hurting fish. Why is there this hypocritical double standard when it comes to fishing?
