Phone firm says mast will be staying
Mobile phone company Orange today said it would not be moving its phone mast in West Felton. Engineers have been at the site, close to The Avenue, taking the large satellite dishes to the mast.
But the move has angered residents, who were told this week that a meeting between residents, Orange and the borough council, had been postponed.
They want the phone company to consider relocating the mast to nearby fields, away from houses.
But while a spokesman for the mobile phone giant said the meeting had only been postponed because of difficulties in giving staff enough notice of the meeting, she said that Orange would not change its mind over the site of the mast in the village.
A new date for the meeting is now being arranged.
