Anger over late phone mast letter
A mobile phone company has admitted a letter concerning its application for a mobile phone mast 150m from a Cornish primary school went out late.
Ericsson Services says there was an error in sending the letter to St Francis School in Falmouth.
Some parents say they have not been given enough time to object, and a decision by Carrick Council is likely to be delayed for another week.
Ericsson Services say councillors have known since July.
Carrick was due to decide on Friday if it could agree the application for the mast at the Falmouth Business Park or would want more detailed plans.
But Mike Dobson, corporate affairs manager for Ericsson Services, said the letter to St Francis had gone off later than planned.
Mr Dobson said a letter was despatched on time to the nearby St Mary's School.
He also said the mast will be safe and will not be pointed at either primary school.
