A HUGE sigh of relief swept through Widney Manor residents in the council chambers on Wednesday night as a 15 metre mobile phone mast was given the boot.
Nearly 100 letters objecting to the proposal were sent to Solihull Council and close to 300 signitures were also gathered by angry residents against the mast along Widney Lane close to Widney Manor station.
St Alphege councillor Theresa Tedd, who helped in the mast fight, said residents gave a spontaneous round of applause to the councillors of the planning sub-committee.
She added: "I'm delighted with the result.
"I call upon Mobile Phone Giant O2 to accept the resounding wishes of residents in this most pleasant part of Solihull."
