I would like to add my support for the upgrading of Wylands facilities which are essential if it is to continue as a premier fishery.

Frank Meakin, Orpington
There are absolutly NO PLANNING grounds for refusing this application. These facillities are needed now both for the benefit of visitors to Wylands, myself and wife included and to improve the Tourism product generally for the Rother District.

Wylands is a top class venue only made possible by the staffs dedication and hard work. Its a shame that the council is allowing it to run without of date facilities. It's obvious that the Wylands needs the improvements, so why isn't the council supporting it by allowing the applications to go through? Isn't it the councils job to update and support local business ventures by bringing them up to the modern day standards?? My partner and I really enjoy night fishing so it is very important to be able to have the basic sanitary requirements on site and adequate hot and cold food facilities. These issues should be addressed as it will only bring in much need income and tourism to the local area, an issue that should be high on any councils objectives.

As this fishery is out of the way I can't see as to how it would affect anyone and could bring more jobs to the area long term. John Crundwell, Maidstone

 
Wyland fishery and campsite is a well run venue in a wonderful location used by many fishermen and cadets from far and wide, including Sussex Army Cadets, for overnight stops whilst walking the 1066 trail. As for application RR/2004/3587/P this will be a vast improvement, which will benefit all, including the local economy in such a historically important area. Private enterprise should be encourage and given help, not stifled by the few in positions of influence. C Penfold, Lt Sussex Army Cadet Force, St Leonards

As a registered disabled person who enjoys angling the proposal can only improve the centre and make it more accessible and user friendly.

M Forde, Charlton
From a female angler's point of view with grandchildren interested in fishing the proposed changes can only be beneficial to all concerned. Patricia Jay, Charlton
All are very badly needed. Colin Pannell, Hastings
Wylands is now falling behind other fisheries. Wylands and surrounding businesses will benefit from the improvements. Barry Whitehead, Thamesmead
This really does need better facilities. H Reades, Hemel
Good luck for the proposal! Luke Veness, Eastbourne
Deserves all the help needed to make anglers happy as place is beautiful. Stephen Mawson, Goudhurst
We need all of this new buildings. Paul Matthews, Cardiff
These facilities are urgently required by the fishermen now. Mr Tilley, Romford
Hello we are a day centre for adults between 18-65 suffering from primary mental health conditions. We often have a fishing group to Wylands and have 17 people who go at different times. They are greeted and well looked after by the friendly staff at the lakes and find fishing very therapeutic. We would like to strengthen the needs for the new facilities wanted at Wylands. Then more minority groups such as the disabled can use fishing to help them relax and gain confidence in their abilities an in their lives. It's also great fun. East Sussex County Council Social Services - Hastings and Rother Adults, Bexhill on Sea
Would be good for complex - more toilets, better cafe, more new buildings, sheds taken away for new type more accommodation areas. Andrew Brandon, Mitcham
More toilets, plus accommodation for families and a bigger cafe with more seating areas. Richard Harvey, Mitcham
An excellent fishery, beautifully maintained lacking only the facilities applied for on the above application. Mr Hill, Peacehaven
Sooner the better! FW Cann, Romney Marsh
 I wholly support your plans Wylands! I urge 'Rother District Council' to reconsider their decision. Although it's already a wonderful venue , Wylands does desperately need improved facilities,
 
PLEASE let us have the improvements and facilities, that anglers deserve. 
 
look again at the plans and applications, Rother District Council!!
Jason Clarke, Orpington
Any improvements to an already beautiful practical location could only be a positive move. Andrew Dobson, Wakefields
This development would enhance this area, providing a better service to this establishment and the customer. Mr W Wotton, Harrow
I support this motion 100% whole heartedly Mr R Manzi, Maidstone
Brilliant idea, bring it on! Allan Harding, London
Wylands desperately need improved facilities to support their superb lakes. From an environmental and visual perspective, the proposed chalets will mean the removal of the existing touring caravans, which are one of the worst eyesores to be seen from the surrounding hills. the chalets themselves are pleasing to look at and will be barely visible from these surrounding areas. The proposals for the various new buildings will also improve the look of the site and remove the dilapidated buildings that are at present a huge blot on the landscape. As a neighbour who has overlooked Wylands for 49 years, these proposals would result in a more pleasing and environmentally friendly site than I have seen in all those years.

Wylands needs these facilities for the families and pleasure/match anglers who use wylands all year.
 
Phillip Martin, New Addington
Hello Wyland people, we do pledge our support to wylands, why, we have been going to Wylands for years, it would make a good difference to have the place upgraded, as we are getting older, and even the younger people could do with a warm place to have a chat, tea coffee etc. the place is already lovely, just needs a bit more improvement. good luck 
 
Wal & Carol Bermondsey
The improvements that Wylands have outlined would turn an already great place to visit and fish into a superb one. I fully endorse what they are trying to do and if successful could turn this venue into a real family place and help to bring more people to our wonderful sport/pastime/hobby, etc, etc.
 
Stuart John Lukes, Sidcup
This will further improve a very nice fishery. As an angling coach, I fully support these applications. Dave, Croydon 
Top venue - needs indoor cafe! Sam, Ashford
Wylands is a lovely place and the only thing that spoils it is not having the right facilities it deserves. David, St Leonards
