The Angling Trust has written to Fisheries Minister Richard Benyon MP asking him to to reduce the red tape tangling up the process for applying for a licence to control fish-eating birds, which cause untold damage the UK’s £3.5 billion angling industry.

The UUFA is applying for license to kill Fish Eating Birds (FEB) on the river. Read on to find out how you can help.
