Householders in Beccles say they should have been consulted before permission was granted for a new mobile phone mast.
However, the council insists it followed procedures correctly.
Gresham Road resident Melissa Squire said she was “mortified” after returning home to find a T-Mobile mast being put up on George Westwood Way, less than 100m from her home.
She said: “I think it's absolutely outrageous that they have let that mast go up without letting people know. I don't think that anybody in that council office would want it next to their home. It's really sneaky and downright unfair on all the people who live here.”
She said that she and neighbours were particularly worried about the potential impact on children's health, adding: “People's health is the most important thing. We don't seem to matter.”
