Town centre phone mast opposition
An action group has been formed to fight plans to erect a mobile phone mast in the centre of a Powys town.
Builth Wells Against Telephone Masts Association is threatening a protest march and has started a petition.
Hutchinson 3G is looking at locating a 12.5m (41ft) mast in Bank Square, but there are concerns among local people about a possible impact on health.
But the firm said there were "no proven adverse effects" from the low-powered equipment it used.

In recent years a number of protests against masts have been held throughout the UK as phone firms look to extend their networks.
We're reviewing all the options in the area
Mike Dobson, Hutchinson 3G
Ralph Ollermann, chairman of the protest group, said: "We will start a petition when the company finally applies to the council and we will have tables in the streets collecting names. We already have over 60 just from this area."
Mike Dobson of Hutchinson 3G said a decision about the mast's location had not been made.
"We are currently in the process of looking in the area and Bank Square is just one option, and we're reviewing all the options in the area," he said.
"We need to provide coverage for the nearby Royal Welsh Show and the town of Builth Wells itself."
Mr Dobson said if Bank Square was chosen, the firm would have to submit a planning application.
