North Wales

A CONTROVERSIAL mobile phone mast, removed from the roof of a North Wales school, is to be replaced with one in an isolated field surrounded by trees.
Orange PCS Ltd moved its mast from the roof of Broughton Junior School following protests by parents worried about the possible health effects.
It has dropped plans to erect a replacement at Bretton Lodge Farm and is now seeking planning consent to put a 20-metre-high lattice mast with three antennae and two dishes in open countryside on land at Green End Farm in Broughton.
In a report to be considered by Flintshire County Council's planning and development control committee on Wednesday, planning officials say that it should go ahead.
The proposed new site was within open countryside 200 metres to the south of the village boundary and 300 metres to the west of the dwelling at Green End Farm.
But Broughton and Bretton community councillors remain unhappy.
