Urgent law change is required to stop cellphone companies forcing towers upon communities wherever and whenever they want, MPs were told yesterday.

Sue Grey, of Ban the Towers, told the select committee considering the group's 3100-signature petition of eight neighbourhoods with unwanted celltowers that often "only find out about them when workmen are climbing on the roof".

Residents of Waiheke Island's Surfdale Beach found out about a Vodafone tower only when a woman recovering from breast cancer asked workers in "unmarked white vans" what they were doing.

PARLIAMENTARY Chief Whip Geoff Hoon was urged to help change the law when he visited Eastwood families locked in a battle over a phone mast.

T-Mobile put up the 72ft temporary mast in December on land at the end of two gardens in Chewton Street – without telling the residents.

It said it did not need permission as it was using "emergency powers" because the signal from an existing smaller mast was blocked by a new housing development.
