Change rule on all types of fishing during lockdown

Reconsider the sport of fishing being good for exercise and mindfulness

This petition was rejected on 11th Jan 2021 for not petitioning for a specific action

The Petition Committee commented:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Under the national lockdown effective from January 6th, angling and fishing are still permitted activities, as long as wider guidance on social distancing and household mixing is adhered to.
