A new fishing platform has been approved by the Middle Level Commissioners. The platform will be located between the villages of Upwell and Outwell. The application for the platform was presented by Martin Hugh Scott who has been running the children’s fishing club in the Outwell basin. Martin applied to the Trust first as he thought the current location of the club wasn’t suitable due to the boaters who use the mooring have priority over fishermen. The new platform will be dedicated to the club and fishermen only. The planning application has now been forwarded to the Borough Council of Kings Lynn and North West Norfolk.
Martin has set up a Go Fund Me to raise funds for the materials: https://www.gofundme.com/f/martins-fishing-for-kids-platforms
