Say NO to Fishing Charges on Minehead & Watchet Harbour

Minehead harbour has encouraged many generations of fishermen who started as children dangling their rods advised by others as to what to do.. Charging will discourage the tradition of centuries!! A nice day go to harbour because you haven't paid a charge you can't fish or crab!! Not fair!!!

The council will gain more revenue from tourists visiting minehead with the plan of fishing the pier while they are on holiday which is part of many families booking plan when on their annual holiday

Bloody disgusting the person who dreamed this up ought to be strung up by his balls

Another way to con people out of there hard earned cash ....no 1 owns the sea .people will just fish else where

Crazy idea

It's our family holiday fishing .4 of us .I will look to spend my hols else where from Somerset if this goes ahead

Just another cash collecting project with no thought to the angling community. Most are elderly people and families with low income .Somerset is under resourced as it is yet alone take away what little pleasure relaxation and mental relief being by the sea and fishing gives you.

Words fail me

I think its ridiculous as ive been fishing of the piers for 15yrs and now the council will just kill is seafishing and business will close

Disgrace think the idea is to do away with fishing the harbours walls by pricing it out of peoples means. Why would anyone pay that type of money when you can fish around the corner for nothing

they can charge what the like i will never pay its possibly not legal under com/law

Am getting sick of being charged for anything the council feels they can make a few pounds.

This is a ridiculous idea, the council is totally out of touch with what is best for the long-term good of the community!

Another money grabbing idea whoever dreamt this one up is screwing locals and tourists alike

Why don’t we just say no to tourists because we are screwing then in every direction

I drive 200miles from Derbyshire to fish down there. I think this is totally unfair.

This is not a very good idea and will drive people away from Minehead and Watchet.

Think it's a complete joke,all about making money!! whats next charging to go crabbing?

Don't agree with charging anglers

By the introduction of this fee, which is not going to be endorsed, only asking people to move on: (so the council employ someone to do this?), you are also removing accessibility for those people who are mobility impaired, like my son. This is surely discriminatory and about exclusion whereas the seaside is there to be enjoyed by everyone: young and old, able bodied and not so able. Please re-consider this decision.
