More infoThe Angling Trust has welcomed a Derbyshire council’s decision to reconsider reinstating a fishing club’s licence for anglers at a popular beauty-spot after campaigners opposed the terminated tenancy arrangement. Seven concerns were raised with the council regarding the lido and the three formal complaints were all during July 2024.

Derbyshire Angling Trust coach, Steve Clamp, said: “There’s no reason why this bio-diversity hub and angling cannot co-exist at Wingerworth. “Just look at the excellent partnership working in Derby where all the city council’s lakes are successfully managed by the local Earl Harrington Angling Club who have improved the aquatic environment in all the lakes for all wildlife and not just fish.
