Residents’ joy as phone mast work halted
Residents in West Felton have welcomed news that a stop notice has been issued by the local authority to prevent the mobile phone company Orange carrying out further work on a mast.
However people living near the controversial mast, in fields close to homes at The Avenue, remain “guarded” about the future of the site.
Oswestry Borough Council believes the mast has not been put up in accordance with the permitted development rights allowed for certain structures.
It has issued the stop notice, informing Orange that it will have to dismantle the mast or submit a new application for permitted development rights.
A public meeting was held yesterday in the village near Oswestry for residents to hear from senior planning officer Edwina Smart and borough councillor Aggie Caesar-Homden.
Chairman of the parish council Pat Mabe said today: “People are pleased but we are concerned about what happens at the end of the temporary stop notice.”
