A12 Cuton Lakes has been developed over the past few years into an increasingly popular fishery for both pleasure anglers and those after the big carp, tench and bream which it now holds.

Since then Neil has tirelessly set about clearing the overgrown site of dead trees, five-feet high scrub, brambles and nettles and has installed land drains to eradicate the waterlogging which made the lakes a precarious place to fish.
In addition he had more than 2,000 metres of security fencing erected around the site and oversaw the planting of more than 4,500 willow trees which will screen the fishery from the A12 and help to deaden the road noise.
