Families give mast plans rough reception
Mar 29 2006
Chester Chronicle
FAMILIES have blasted plans for an 18m mobile phone mast in a field, claiming it would be an eyesore and a potential risk to health.
Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council has been inundated with objections from people trying to block plans for the Vodafone mast on land off Wistaston Green Road, Wistaston.
Letters have been received from nearly 200 households.
Parish councillors fear the mast would be an eyesore and potentially harmful to children at nearby schools and a nursery.
They suggest Vodafone shares a mast with Orange near the Rising Sun pub.
But Vodafone says it is under legal obligation to provide 3G coverage for at least 80% of the population by 2007 and experts have yet to link masts with a health risk.

Council planners are recommending the go-ahead at Tuesday's development control committee.
Members will hear how Vodafone has struggled to find a site suitable for a large mast which is not close to houses and which will fill the gap in coverage.
A council spokesman said: 'On balance the proposed mast represents an environmental solution given the amount of tree screening.'
