Mobile phone mast protest going strong
Posted by Emma Lindsey on Aug 19, 08 04:25 PM in
A mobile phone protestors' group is urging people to lodge their complaints about the proposed siting of a 12m radio mast in Chalfont St Peter, which she says will attract graffiti and indirectly encourage drivers to use their phones.
Yasmin Skelt of CHAMP (Chorleywood and Chalfont Against Mast Pollution) explained that despite the official deadline of August 15 for complaints to reach Chiltern District Council (CDC), there is till time for residents to lodge objections to Vodafone's application for a 3G radio mast on the corner of Copthall Lane and Gravel Hill.
Mrs Skelt said: "At 12 metres high, this is a huge mast and it will come with a large equipment box that will hum and attract graffiti. It's not just something that looks like a lamp post. They say that it will be shielded by trees, but the leaves will drop in autumn. It will be an eyesore in a very beautiful area."
