Completed petition Allow Welsh residents to travel for fishing the same as our counterparts in England

Welsh anglers are fed up with being treated differently to those in England.

Currently we are not allowed to travel locally for exercise. England during tier 4 are allowed to travel and even whilst in tier 5.

We as anglers understand the dangers that are out there with the covid-19 pandemic, however anglers use this time to maintain their mental wellbeing, concentration and to reduce their stress levels. This socially distanced sport should be brought back for all.
