Today is the day where we might start to get our fishing marks back.The Berry Head Public Spaces Protection Order comes into force today, and will continue to 31 December 2024.
The Order sets out a series of restrictions backed by enforcement powers. They include:
No anti-social behaviour
No littering
No fires or barbeques or anything similar
Catch no more than 20 mackerel in any 24-hour period
Individuals to leave the sites when requested by an authorised officer and not return for 48 hours
No camping including no use of tents, shelters etc.
No removal, damage or interference with minerals or rocks
Anyone in breach of the Order is liable to receive an on-the-spot fine (Fixed Penalty Notice) of £100 or face prosecution in court.
The Public Spaces Protection Order can be enforced by Officers of Torbay Council, Devon & Cornwall Police, Inshore Fishing and Conservation Authority and/or Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust, and any of these organisations’ representatives.
Where our resourcing permits, we will be attending Berry Head engaging with fishermen and explaining the PSPO. We have letters explaining the conditions of the order which we will hand out. Should people then not adhere to the Order, we will look at enforcement.
Unless there is an immediate need to deal with a disturbance, alleged breaches of the PSPO should be referred to Torbay Council ( follow the link; crowd.in/wJYmzD ) or the Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust (via email at info@countryside-trust.org.uk) rather than the Police.
If you wish to find out more about the Order, please follow the link to the Torbay Council website;

New pspo coming into force until 2024.*** Public Spaces Protection Order for Berry Head ***
Finally, some good news to deliver with regards to the fishing issues at Berry Head. A new Public Spaces Protection Order has been granted to help protect the area from harm and make it safe for all to visit.
The Order comes into force on Friday, 9 June 2023, and will continue to 31 December 2024. It follows reports about the behaviour and impact on the environment of a significant minority of people fishing from the locations, littering and causing anti-social behaviour.
Torbay Council & the Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust (TCCT) have been liaising with ourselves, the Harbour Masters Office, Natural England, the Devon Inshore Fisheries & Conservation Authority and other partner agencies over a number of months regarding the feasibility of this measure.
The Order sets out a series of restrictions backed by enforcement powers. They include:
