Bid for 41ft mast near schools
Mobile phone giant O2 has applied to put up a 41ft phone mast near two primary schools in Shrewsbury, just weeks after a bid for a similar mast was thrown out.
The company has submitted a planning application to Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council to erect a mast next to the junction of Copthorne Park and Copthorne Road.
It is described as a slimline street works style monopole telecommunications mast with three antenna and ancillary equipment cabin. It would be built close to Woodfield County Infant School and St George’s Junior School.
O2 claims it would help meet increasing demands on its network. But the proposal looks set to attract criticism, coming weeks after O2’s bid to build a riverside mast in Shrewsbury was thrown out by councillors.
Copthorne Park residents Tom and Elizabeth Ferris have already sent a letter of objection to the borough council, calling the proposal “lunacy” and grossly irresponsible given its proximity to the schools.
However Jim Stevenson, community relations manager for O2 said: “The masts are completely safe. As far as we are concerned people need have no fear at all.”
