Markus backs small boats on Bassenthwaite
Markus Campbell-Savours, MP for Penrith and Solway, is concerned that a new byelaw being proposed by the Lake District National Park Authority could see fishermen who use small powerboats banned from some of the smaller lakes.
Markus Campbell-Savours said: “I think this proposed byelaw is a mistake with the potential to unfairly hit fishermen, many of whom have been responsibly fishing the lakes and rivers of Cumbria for generations."
