CONCERN has been raised by residents of plans to install a mobile phone mast inside a historic listed church tower.
The Church of All Hallows, Church Lane, Tottenham, is undertaking a public consultation on proposals to place a mobile phone mast inside the church tower.
But Matthew Bradby, chairman of Tottenham Civic Society, was cautious about the plans for the Grade II* listed building.
He said: "The Parochial Church Council and others involved in making this decision must make absolutely sure that the historic fabric and appearance of the church tower is not compromised by the proposed work, and must satisfy themselves that there are no health and safety risks posed to local residents and schools."
The church could afford to make essential repair work on the gutters and flooring if the mast is installed.
The applicants have assured the public that it would not alter the outer appearance of the tower in any way.
Members of the public have until September 14 to respond to the plan, by QS4 Ltd on behalf of Vodaphone.
They should send their comments, with reference number A06535, to john.horsley@qs4.com or by post to John Horsley, QS4 Ltd, Cody Technology Park, Ively Road, Farnborough, Hants, GU14 0LX.
