    Fishing in Stafford.

    Fishing in Stafford.

    Fishing in Stafford.

    :?: Moot point, last time I was interested in fishing law, (20+ years ago!) there was a National closed season, overseen by the Environment Agency for inland open waters, rivers, streams, drains, canals, ect.

    Fishing in Stafford.

    Latest tale of this river bank was that the lake also has Rudd in it & a decent head of bream, heard of a 4 pound example of the latter! Plenty of people down there currently! 'Tight Lines' ;)

    Bit curious, they were started ages ago, over 12 months I think, juat the concrete footings and supplies had been done, used to go to a weekly meeting at the Barbanell centre, then it all stopped. Couple of weeks ago they seemed to have stopped the building! Then days ago there was signs of...

    Stafford Gateway Masterplan.

    Sorry for any confusion, it was pictures of INDOOR machines doing the demolishing I saw, a quick check of my original post confirms that. Unlike you I was not aware they had started doing any work at alI, I rarely enter down. The offending video just popped up on my mobile phone, unrequested...

    Seen, online, photo's of indoor demolishing of the old market! Has it actually begun? I won't be holding breath for a completion date! Maybe 2030 some changes will be visible! But your it's your guesse as to when old Co-op, M%S and Woodies will join the party!
