I have fished on the river Ivel at Biggleswade since I was my teenage years,the car parking is fairly limited,one being the Dan Albone car park, near the mechano bridge,the other being the Mill Lane car park,I received a message Sunday informing me that a notice had gone up(A4 size)stating that Biggleswade Town council were intending to put metres in(there has never been a charge previously) both,Mill Lane becoming a short stay,with a maximum of 3hrs,the Dan Albone car park being a maximum stay of 9hrs,with no return within 4hrs,now this seems fine,until you work out you need to arrive ear!y at times(7am at the moment)to ensure a goodish peg,plus as is often the case,you need to be there last knockings for best results,now you'd have to pack at 3pm to stand a chance of getting away by 4pm,a sad time indeed.
