ANGER is mounting over a mobile phone company's plans to replace a free-standing mast in Lower Clapton with one which is more powerful.
Two years ago Landfield estate residents lost a battle against a mast which went up behind their homes on neighbouring property at the Braydon Motor Company in Rendlesham Road.
The council has now sent out letters asking for residents' views on a bid by mobile phone giant, O2, to replace the 15-foot mast with another, more powerful structure.
"There are schools all around here and I've never seen a mobile phone mast like this at such a low level," said Marilyn Vears, 55, chairwoman of the estate's tenants' and residents' association.
She added that residents feared the increased power of the mast could be an even greater health risk as it is positioned at a height of just 30 feet off the ground.
