Roker pier closed *temp sticky please*

Lets face it, SCC arent bothered about Anglers, 90% of whom cause too much bother for them with their thoughtless ways & the filth they leave around.
I would guess that unless we have a long settled spell, the pier will be closed for quite some time. They wont be in a hurry.:mad:

I suppose you can't really blame them, the pier is almost certainly more of a liability than an asset to the council.

Much cheaper and easier to leave it closed till next spring, given that any repairs may well be undone in the next big blow or there might not be time between blows, to get anything decent done anyway:(

If anything I'd say the opposite Bob. Considering the crap (sometimes literally) left behind by anglers and so-called anglers on Roker and the Wear marks Sunderland council remain pretty supportive of sea angling. The lads in the resorts office are never less than helpful, they've always tried to get the pier opened as soon as they can and there are no marks out of bounds unless they are very dangerous (old north pier) or dock company property. Sunderland council sponsor a yearly angling festival and allow unfettered access to Hendon prom for anglers and their vehicles all year round.

Compared to Hartlepool council who appear to actively hate sea anglers Sunderland council should be applauded (now get the bloody pier open!)

Have to say - surprised by the opening, really thought I would be writing this one off until spring.
