Phone giant faces legal bid to stop mast going up
Frustrated residents are considering launching a legal challenge against Vodafone in a bid to stop the communications giant building a phone mast near a primary school, Yourmedway reports.
The threat of court action was made by campaigner Mike Evans, one of a group of parents outraged that the 3G mast could be erected just 100ft away from St Mary’s Roman Catholic Primary School, Gillingham.
The determined parents are supported by members of the three main political parties – with all three Liberal Democrat Gillingham North ward councillors, the Labour MP for Gillingham and Rainham Paul Clark and the Conservative-run council voicing their opposition to the mast.
Council chiefs twice rejected Vodafone’s planning application but were overruled by the Planning Inspectorate earlier this year.
Work began on installing the mast last week.
