Maybe it's not a good idea to advise people to climb gates or cut locks that could have been put there by the authorities who own and try to keep safe access to Middleton pier.
Sorry to have to post on this thread but you could possibly find yourselves in trouble, either from the police or worse, the sea.

the council hanvt put that lock on there.... its a cheap one from the pound shop.![]()
Theres the blighter causing ya the problem, had a walk over before work...
the council have a suited system that uses a different key to that and the lock would be stronger.
dont get me wrong mate, im not saying I or anyone else for that matter is/should cut the lock off, just saying what with the run of weather we have had people are gona want to fish off it. and you always get one who will do it.
Iv got to say though im concernd about the lock being put on, was the pier checked to make sure it was empty before it was put on? who done it? im gona get my shirlock hat out and look into this.
let you know if i find anything out:g:

Well I spoke to Hartlepool council today with regard to the lock being put on the gate at Middleton .......................and no one can confirm that they were responsible ......................they did say however that a new gate and barrier was being prepared for that location ...............................so chaps it looks like it may be closed permanent.....................in other words ...................it going to be a chalange to either get the new gate off.................or get past the new barrier when it`s installed.

If it is a resident who has put the lock on then they have no right to do so. Unless they own the actual pier than they can not prevent anglers using it for recreational use as they can not prohibit it. Just a thought but perhaps who ever put the lock on th gate is in the wrong? What would you do if a neighbour put a lock on your back gate? I'm sure you would not leave that.

My how times change, years ago we had umpteen piers and now what have we got.
The Heugh pier was closed due to neglect and the money spent on the marina.
Steetly pier will be down some time soon due to the fact the land can make more money by sticking a new housing estate on it.
Middleton peir now locked and new gates prepared to be installed because fishing interferes with the boats coming in an out. And if anyone here says the pier is dangerous then why did they spend hundreds of thousands on it by extending it and reshaping the end.
What have we left, The Pilot pier,The prom and the beach.
Well, I like alot of other anglers actually learnt to fish on Middleton pier and how many new youngsters have we seen taking the sport up and learning to fish off Middleton instead of twocking cars and causing trouble in the street.
Im suprised the tackle shops dont get together and investigate why the pier is getting closed because in the end, its there bread and butter thats going to suffer in years to come when theres no new anglers coming into the game because theres no were to learn.
