Cleethorpes Country Park - idyllic for anglers but you need the right paperwork |
A SESSION with rod and line at the lake in Cleethorpes Country Park proved costly for a local angler.
According to North East Lincolnshire Council, when approached last May, the individual was unable to produce a valid Environment Agency permit or rod licence.
He should have bought these in advance from the Tourist Information Centre at the Report Hub opposite Cleethorpes Pier.
He was summonsed to appear before Grimsby magistrates after failing to pay a £100 fixed penalty notice
He did not attend court, and, in his absence, was ordered to pay a total of £534.04 comprising the original fine, costs and a victim surcharge.
