Consultation extended for mobile mast
CAMPAIGNERS opposing plans for a new mobile phone mast in Balerno have until the end of today to register their objections.
The council agreed to extend the consultation period after campaign group SOS Balerno discovered there was a discrepancy between the number of objection letters sent to the council and the number of letters they had received.
A spokesman for SOS Balerno said: "It has come to our attention that some people have received acknowledgement of their objection letters from Edinburgh City Council and some have not.
"We called the council to find out why and they advised us that they acknowledged each letter submitted and that they have received 27 letters to date.
"At SOS Balerno we have now been copied in on nearly 50 letters, so there appears to be some real discrepancy."
The proposed mast would be built on green-field land at Malleny Bing, near Harlaw Road.
