THE letter published in the Northwich Guardian from Peter Friston is factually incorrect.

Northwich Anglers Association have not changed their policy relating to parking on the island at Vale Royal.

Some years ago Northwich Anglers obtained planning permission for car parking at Vale Royal and we continue to manage the land in line with the consents we received at that time.

Any suggestion that we have now changed our policies and are allowing members unrestricted parking on the land (we own) at Vale Royal is simply not true.

Any increased parking that is now occurring at Vale Royal can be attributed to the tenants of the Canals and River Trust who now lease the cottages at Vale Royal together with the CRT staff at the Vale Royal Locks office.
