Phone mast near church 'outrageous'
PLANS to put up a phone mast outside an ancient church in Seaford have been 'cynically timed', says a district councillor.
Vodaphone has lodged an application to build a 10-metre mast and equipment cabinet on the pavement at St Peter's Church in Belgrave Road, Blatchington.
Ward councillor Carolyn Lambert is appealing for people to object to 'this outrageous proposition' and said: 'How cynical as well to submit the application at a time when many people are likely to be on holiday?'
She said the pole and antennae would stand on a normal-sized pavement on a busy route to the nearby primary school. An application for a 12-metre pole was refused in 2005 because its siting and design was considered 'to represent an incongruous intrusion into the street scene'.
Cllr Lambert said: 'And a dangerous impediment to pedestrians might be added.'
