Community Fishing Project Consultation
Community Fishing Project – Have Your Say
Cllr Curtis Brittain is currently exploring the possibility of developing a community fishing project at Frankley Reservoir.
The project is currently at an early consultation stage and no decisions or funding commitments have been made. The purpose of the consultation is to establish whether there is sufficient interest from local residents to explore the proposal further.
Residents are invited to share their views, including whether they or members of their household would use a community fishing facility, how frequently they might use it, and any ideas or suggestions they may have for the project.
Please see the consultation poster for further information.
Views can also be sent directly to Cllr Brittain at:
cllr.curtis.brittain@
Hopefully between the newsletter, the Parish Council Facebook page and the local community groups, this will give a good indication of the level of interest before any further work is undertaken.
