THE parents of a little girl born with brain damage have vowed to fight Vodafone's bid to build a phone mast yards from the family home.
Jan Catherall and partner Sarah Flint do not want the 11.4 metre high mast to be constructed because they are worried about the impact it could have on the health of eight-year-old Britney, who has encephalitis, which is inflammation of the brain.
