Anger over phone masts

More than 50 residents met last night to voice their disgust at Planning’s conduct, claiming that they had no idea the masts were going up. Resident Martin Gallery headed the meeting and is drawing up a petition to have the masts removed. ‘Hardly any residents were aware of what was going on, and their lives have been put at risk,’ he said. ‘There may be no evidence that they pose a health risk, but there’s no evidence against it either. UK studies say that they can’t be put up in schools, so why put them in residential areas?’
