Totally no need to stop fishing from the end of the pier. Fishing from piers is as traditional as the pier itself

Please dont take away the average mans pleasure. What some see as a birth right perhaps? Why not ask the local anglers who use the pier what they would pay per rod per session and per year. Then as a business concern investment can be considered against outlay?

Lovely venue to fish, would be sad for locals and visiting anglers to lose another south coast pier to fish.

Angling from Eastbourne pier has been available for so many years. A relaxing pastime that is enjoyed throughout the coastline.

Why ban an activity that is harmless and gets kids doing something other than hanging around streets?

Fishing is a part of piers in the UK.

Be a more popular public figure and let the anglers continue to fish off your pier please.
