BENGEWORTH residents have stepped up their campaign against the installation of a phone mast in St Peter’s Church and created a website for people to object.

Concerns have been raised that not enough people know about the proposal for four Vodafone antennas placed behind window panels on the church tower.

Up until now it had only been advertised in the church but now the Chancellor of the Diocesan Registrar’s office has said a public notice must be put in a local newspaper.

Once published people will have two weeks to object to the plans.

Worried residents already aware of the move to install a G3 transmitter in the clock tower are doing all they can to stop it going ahead.

It is not surprising that a 60 foot metal tower should cause anger amongst local residents forced to live with the eyesore, but is there more at risk than just spoiling the view? Inside Out investigates claims that phone masts are a danger.

CONTROVERSIAL plans to install an 18-metre mobile phone mast have suffered another set-back, after local councillors agreed to support residents’ objections.

Telecommunications company Vodafone may also now need full planning permission for the mast, which it wants to build on farmland, close to houses, in Sandy Bank, Northallerton.

The site of the proposed mast is close to the ward boundaries of Romanby parish and Northallerton town councils.

At a meeting of the parish council last night, members voted to write to Hambleton District Council, the local planning authority, expressing support for objectors.

It is claimed that more than 100 homes would be within view of the mast, which would be 15 metres tall, with a three metre antenna stalk on top of that.

RESIDENTS in Ynyshir who stopped a mobile phone company building a phone mast near their homes have now got another fight on their hands.

Three years after fighting off two attempts to put a mast behind Glass Sheet Metal site, Park View residents have now had letters from Rhondda Cynon Taff council to say that Vodafone is trying to put another mast next to the Service Centre on Ynyshir Road.

“We just don’t understand, it’s such a vulnerable area, the schools are nearby and there’s sheltered accommodation here too,” said Park View resident Christine Slatter, who created the Park View Resident’s Association to fight the first battle with Vodafone. I am really, really livid over it. We’ve been told we’ll have more of a fight on our hands this time because the mast will not be as tall, at only 12 metres, but with the two antenna that are meant to go on top, it will be.”

A GIANT mobile phone mast is set to go up just yards from a children's playground and across the road from a primary school.

Vodafone has applied for permission to put up the 14-metre (45 ft) mast at Preston Road, Linlithgow.

If approved, the structure would be placed on the roadside verge at the corner of the new playpark, near Linlithgow Primary School and next to the Union Canal.

Linlithgow Community Council is planning to fight the proposal and Jack Thompson, planning spokesman, said: "We are not in favour of masts that are too close to where children will be playing or going to school because of the potential hazards.

"We will be submitting a formal objection on the grounds of location and size."
