Neighbours' mast orders
Jun 6 2006

WORRIED parents have spoken out over a mobile phone mast they fear will affect their kids' health.
Neighbours in Delverton Road, Walworth, claim they were left in the dark over plans to erect Orange communications equipment next to their homes.
Mum-of-three Jackie Mitchell, 44, said she was afraid to let kids Daniel, 18, Ben, 15, and Luke,five, near her garden wall, which is next to the installation on the roof of the adjacent Rose O'Grady's pub.
She said: "I was told they were just doing some repairs, so I let them put scaffolding up in my garden. I didn't know they were putting in a phone mast.
"I've read reports saying they cause leukaemia, cancer, brain damage - the lot. Everyone round here is worried sick.
"We just want to know why we weren't told about it and why it's been put up right next to houses where everyone has kids."
Her friend Angela Munian, 45, is worried about the effect on her daughter Alex, two, and son Mason, 11.
She said: "They should have notified us.No one round here has a clue what's going on.
"We're all frightened to let the kids out. You don't know what sort of radiation is coming off that thing."
Rose O'Grady's landlady Delia Henderson, 64, said that because she was just a leaseholder she had no control over the mast being built, and brewery Enterprise Inns received planning permission two years ago.
She said: "I'm not involved in the dispute - there's absolutely nothing I can do.
"Orange has told me there's more danger using a mobile than being near the mast.
"Half the time you read that they're a problem, half the time they're completely safe."
Orange spokeswoman Jacqueline Sibanda said: "People have absolutely nothing to worry about.
"Phone masts have become stigmatised but there's been exhaustive research and no problems have emerged. We also comply with World Health Organisation guidelines on transmissions.

"There's a lot of misinformation but hopefully the message will soon get out that this technology - which has been in use for years - is safe."
