Fishing Platforms

The Our City Our River (OCOR) project is underway to improve flood defences through Derby and opportunities for environmental improvements have been identified along the River Derwent.

To compliment these works it is proposed to install a number of fishing and viewing platforms along the riverside to provide increased opportunity for fishing and experiencing the river.

The proposals are to:

Encourage use of formal fishing locations Provide fishing platforms for elderly and disabled anglers Provide pond dipping platform for school groups

It is proposed that recycled plastic fishing platforms and a pond dipping platform be installed at locations along the edge of the River Derwent and around the perimeter of Alvaston Lake.

The locations have been agreed in consultation with the Earl of Harrington Angling Club, Friends Groups, Derbyshire Wildlife Trust and the Environment Agency.
