Protesters angry at proposals for a mobile phone mast near their homes in Telford have won an important victory in their David and Goliath battle with telecoms giant Vodafone.

Council leaders have promised to put pressure on the company to rethink its plans. Objectors fear the mast, planned for a site off Alma Avenue, Malinslee, could pose a health risk to youngsters who use a nearby play area and BMX track.

RESIDENTS are angry about plans for a mobile phone mast in Charlestown, which they fear could put children's lives at risk.

Mobile phone provider Vodafone has asked Restormel Borough Council for permission to erect a 12m-high monopole on land owned by the county council at the junction of Crinnis and Church Road.

Even though guidelines say phone masts should not be erected within 400m of a school, the site is within 200m of Charlestown Primary School.

The plans were discussed at a packed public meeting held last week to debate the proposed closure of Charlestown post office. Vodafone was invited to attend, but its representatives said they had insufficient notice to do so.

Residents' association chairman Malcolm Neill said: "There has been strong and vigorous opposition to this proposal from when we first heard of it in June. Last week's meeting was unanimously against it."

A mobile phone protestors' group is urging people to lodge their complaints about the proposed siting of a 12m radio mast in Chalfont St Peter, which she says will attract graffiti and indirectly encourage drivers to use their phones.

Yasmin Skelt of CHAMP (Chorleywood and Chalfont Against Mast Pollution) explained that despite the official deadline of August 15 for complaints to reach Chiltern District Council (CDC), there is till time for residents to lodge objections to Vodafone's application for a 3G radio mast on the corner of Copthall Lane and Gravel Hill.

Mrs Skelt said: "At 12 metres high, this is a huge mast and it will come with a large equipment box that will hum and attract graffiti. It's not just something that looks like a lamp post. They say that it will be shielded by trees, but the leaves will drop in autumn. It will be an eyesore in a very beautiful area."

New People’s Army targets include cell phone towers. The telecommunications company owners (and their insurance companies) hate it. So do the wireless system clients and the people of the local community.

But should they? They don’t realize it but maybe Ka Roger’s people are promoting their good health.
