ACCESS PROJECTS

In the last four years our access funding and projects have been concentrated on the Roundabout Venue ,Initially we created the track down to our first Carpark between Meadow one and two, the next year we expanded carpark one to accommodate more vehicles . Last year we created the five parking bays in meadow three so that in good weather conditions our members can drive to almost the end of our Roundabout venue .We are now happy to say we have secured funding this year and we are looking to improve the track down to the carpark between meadow two and three and this will almost complete our infrastructure plans for the Roundabout see videos below about the progress over time.

PHASE 2

Phase 2 of the access improvement project is underway thanks to a second successful bid for funding from Angling Improvement Fund . The funding is provided from license monies allocated by the Environment Agency.                                                                                                                                                                             This phase includes a new access road opposite the lay-by at the top of our stretch. Also an off-road car park for at least 5 cars. There will be new access steps , landings and a handrail all the way down the steep bank for safe access to the river.

PHASE 1

Work has begun on making access to our stretch of the river at Leaton estate much safer.This work would not be possible without the help and cooperation of the Estate and its staff and the Angling Improvement Fund Bid which we have recently bid for and won.

The first process was marking out the various  paths we would like to improve and make safer for all our angling members

The first access path from car park B to the river side is now complete and work will commence soon on the path near the stables cottages.

We would love to see you on one of the work parties there is plenty more to be done to improve our fishery so please get in touch with Dave Haughton for further details of dates and times…………………………….
