* The Environment Agency is reminding anglers in Lancashire that it's time to renew their rod licences.

"Fishing for salmon, trout, freshwater fish and eels in England, Wales, and the Border Esk in Scotland requires a licence from the Environment Agency. Failure to have a licence is an offence," says Environment Agency head of fisheries Dafydd Evans.
