The place is a joke and a mess, the council should shut it and adapt for disabled angling only

total agree the place is a ****e hole with all the mess no wonder the sailing club complains, the seats have been damaged and rubbish bins set on fire.
I don't agree it should be shut but anglers that use this venue must respect the place most anglers remove the rubbish as there are plenty bins in the car park.
the same goes for the pier when it reopens please remove all rubbish and old line, anglers that don't take any notice are just giving the council ammo to stop angling from the pier and just make it for pedestrians.
I would hate to see this happen as it is an excellent venue for disabled fishermen and responsible anglers.
over the last 40 years I have had many a good session both on the rathouse and the pier .
both of these venues could be removed by the council by a few irresponsible
people
