ANGER OVER PLANS FOR MOBILE MAST NEAR SCHOOL
SCHOOL governors and neighbours are up in arms about a proposed mobile phone mast near their school and homes in Horncastle. During the past two weeks posters have appeared near Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School informing people of a proposed T-Mobile telephone mast.
The sign informed people the phone company is considering installing a 15m radio base station at Reindeer Close Industrial Estate to provide coverage to the Horncastle area.
School governors have, through headteacher Tim Peacock, asked parents to write to the company with their objections to the mast.
A letter to all parents stated: "It has been bought to out attention that plans exist to locate a telecommunications mast on the Reindeer Close site.
"We feel this is entirely inappropriate. Children should not be exposed to unnecessary risks."
An East Lindsey District Council spokesman explained: "The planning department has been approached to give pre-application advice relating to a proposed mobile phone mast to serve Horncastle.
"One of the sites proposed was on the Reindeer Close Industrial Estate."
# At the time of going to press a representative from T-Mobile was unavailable for comment.
