parking on the lower wall blackpool

had a converstion this morning with the coastguard about the steel posts that have been erected as you drive on to the wall , they are soon to have signs attched which will make the lower wall a restricted parking zone so you will then be at the mercy of traffic wardens but you will be able to park via a permit from the council (which are available now)and providing you have 3rd party public liability insurance, which by the way you should have due to your car insurance not covering you to drive onto the wall ,so be warned that if there are signs up dont leave your car on the lower wall and go digging you might not have a car to come back too !!
anyone on here with any dealings with blackpool council maybe you can shed some light on this subject

All i can say is enjoy the fishing on the wall for now but i suspect we will be banned altogeather and will not be allowed to apply for a pemit
as our vehicles are a danger to the public


Ron

well done ron as the caostguard told me there are permits available but its who you speak to in the council to get one theres a sign up at norbreck which says permit holders only
keep chipping away sooner or later the real story will come out

Nice one Ron, good post well done, so silly question time how far allong the wall does it go all good thing come to a end bloody country covered in red tape licence this permit that tax this when will it end we just cant have any enjoyment without some corrupt politation sticking his nose in and spoiling things Grrrrrrrr
reet had my two peneth worth stepping off soap box now

The Lower Promenade between Gynn Square and Anchorsholme (next to FBAC) is now designated as a PEDESTRIAN ZONE, No vehicles permitted except "Permit Holders" and "Jubilee Route Cycles".

The guys putting the 60 (yes- sixty !!!!!) signs up didn't know where their order originated, so we're presently clueless as to who to apply to for a permit, or even if we can!
Blackpool Borough Council or Lancashire County Council are the probable culprits.

It seems to me the senseless bureaucrats are now preventing access to just about the only venue along the Fylde coast accessible for night fishing (out of car boots) and disabled anglers, in deference to "pedestrians".
I ask, who in their right mind would want to walk along this unilluminated roadway (which has few points of escape) in pitch darkness with no mobile phone reception? It's soon going to become a favourite hang-out for all the miscreants and druggies in Blackpool.
Furthermore, I have personally contributed to efforts to get people off the sands who were in danger of being trapped by incoming tides by raising the alarm verbally and contacting the Coastguard.
Let's hope the bureaucrats see the sense in issuing permits for night-fishing to sea-anglers......... before drownings, rapes, muggings become the Lower Prom "sport" in place of fishing.

Good post Steve spot on,what more can one say ?
Needs sorting out, will anyone listen if any protest are made is the question ?

was out there the other day pumping for bait and the police was patroling in their van, later on several cars also drove slowly down the prom, all had lights flashing, they were not in a rush so wernt chasing anyone, it seems they were on a patrol
saw more today as well while gathering the worms they seem to still patrolling, probably checking access points for what might become illegal parking, you all know what Blackpool council are like. if they can bring in a law and issue on the spot fines to fill coffers they will

CANT BEAT PUMPING ON THE BEACH WITH THE MISSUS



she lets me put them in the fridge then

It looks like the members of the WSF forum have exhausted the topic to death and slung the towel in.

My advice is that if you want to fish the Lower Walk in future, as it's now probably a cert that you'll get a ticket if you take your car down (they've got to recoup the money they've spent on signs!) you should park on the Prom or side streets and walk down the steps down the cliffs. Take care, as the steps are in poor condition and unilluminated, and send all Claims for injuries to Blackpool Borough Council.

Alternatively, mug an old dear for her mobility scooter, respray it and fit it out to carry all your kit from the Anchorsholme, Norbreck, Red Bank Road or Gynn Square access points.
UK-sea-fishing.org stickers are optional. Lights are not necessary and will detract from the excitement as you come face to face with cyclists in the pitch darkness.

It'll be worth seeing how many more walkers are now tempted to use this vast expanse of deserted concrete especially as the gay community consider it a "private place to go when you've met someone" .......... see this for more details: http://www.gaytoz.com/search01.asp?line=12947
