£180,000 pounds..............

That is the amount of compensation paid to Mr Nigel Mott after the Environment agency took away his lively hood several years ago .

Mr Mott was dragged through courts for years fighting his case

He put all on the line.

The EA have unlimited time and funds...........

While all may not agree with aspects of Mr Motts fishing methods the fact remained that is livelihood was being removed and the courts ruled eventually in his favor.

The bill to the EA will far exceed the amount paid in compensation ,all picked up by the tax payer.

The stress for Mr Mott and his family must of been huge ,he stood to loose all .

He deserves every penny
