Open up angling
This should never have been shut down in the first place! It’s healthy, and our rivers stretch a long way. The chance of bumping into another angler is remote, and even if you did you simply keep your distance. Simple!
Why the contribution is important
It’s healthy.

At present I have to walk crowded streets and parks trying to keep 2 metres away from people.!!!!
A lockdown is sensible only if it makes sense.

Angling is another example of solo or small group outdoor activity that should be allowed as it poses no risk to others.
People need to see at least some restrictions being lifted so they know the government is listening and making sensible decisions to make the situation more bearable. If they see that they are more likely to continue to support the restrictions that remain in place to prevent things that have real risk.

It is a solitary pastime where it is not only good exercise and healthy but also excellent for your mental well being . There is nothing more calming than only hearing the river and the sound of the local birds and wildlife to keep all things in perspective.
Common sense needs to prevail for the well being of everyone.
