Phone mast fears
Aug 28 2008 by Dominic Jones, Gwent Gazette
PLANS to allow a new mobile phone mast to be built near a Six Bells primary school have met with anger from concerned parents.
Blaenau Gwent Council confirmed mobile phone company Vodafone had submitted an application to build a new tower, between 10-15m high, on land adjacent to the Old Quarry in Cwm Farm Road, Six Bells, near Bryngwyn Primary.
A council spokeswoman said they were currently consulting Six Bells householders through site notices and letters to individual properties before making a decision.
The spokeswoman added: “As the proposed mast at Six Bells will be less than 15m in height, the council has, under current planning regulations, 56 days to make a decision on the acceptability of its siting and appearance, which it will do through its normal planning procedures.”
Worried parents and residents have started a campaign to convince the planning committee to think twice about giving the tower the green light.
