Morecambe Area Action Plan - Your Input Needed!!
Posted: 08 Feb 2012, 00:29
I'm not sure if members are aware (I certainly wasn't) but there's been an ongoing consultation with the public and stakeholders regarding the future development of Morecambe and it's facilities.
One possibility was looking into the needs of users of the beaches and shorefront at Morecambe.
I believe one of the subjects of the consultation was about the sea front/beaches and what improvements could be made. I know Morecambe Dinghy Angling Club have made their voice heard at a recent meeting, along with the yacht club.
As of yet I believe there is no voice for the RSA (Recreational Sea Anglers) to give their opinions to the body.
All parties who have a vested interest in the seafront should have a chance to put their case forward. However, meetings & consultations have been taking place since 2011 and it is possible that RSA have the missed the boat in making their opinions heard.
The obvious one for the local shore angler would be the lack of venues available due to the proliferation of the rock armour in reality, the north wall is the only untouched venue in the vicinity.
I have suggested previously that one answer would be to dump tonnes of shingle onto the rock armour which would make the shoreline more accessible for people in general, including anglers. Surprisingly, this is one option that I think may have already been discussed and is possibly looked upon favourably!
If anyone has any sensible/feasible suggestions which may form part of a proposal from RSA, please post them on this thread, it's in all our interests to make our voice heard (if it isn't too late) and put together some form of proposal which would go some way to improve Morecambe venues for anglers.
