PLANNERS were today set to throw out an application by a mobile phone firm to instal a "flagpole"-style mast close to a Grade I listed church in a South Yorkshire town centre.

Telecommunications company 02, which is part of the Spanish firm Telefonica, has applied to put the mast up on a building in College Street in the centre of Rotherham.

The firm says the 6.6 metres (22ft) structure is required to "provide 3G coverage to the residential and commercial properties of Rotherham". A 3G signal allows users to access the internet and make video calls on their phones.

PLANS to install a phone mast near an Old Colwyn residential area have sparked outrage.

Robert Dean of Wynn Avenue received a letter from planning company Mono Consultants giving residents 14 days to object to plans developed by phone giant Vodafone.

According to Mr Dean, the letter, which was sent to his home address, said the mast would be erected near the Aldi store on Abergele Road.
Furious Mr Roberts, who lives with his wife, daughter and granddaughter, stressed the mass could pose a "health hazard" for members of the community.

Residents who battled plans to install a mobile phone mast in Shrewsbury more than 18 months ago have warned the mobile phone giant behind new plans they “have a fight on their hands”.

Last year protesters successfully stopped plans by phone giant O2 to erect a 12.5 metre antenna near their homes in Copthorne.

But councillor Judith Williams last week received a letter from rival firm Vodafone stating its intention to use the site for its mast.

Dr Jon Sharp, of Shrewsbury Chiropractic Clinic in Copthorne Road, said: “We fought the last phone mast and we will fight this one too.

Handys können ganz schön auf die Nerven gehen. Besonders lästig können die tragbaren Telephone werden, wenn die unterschiedlichen Klingeltöne den Schulunter-richt stören. Einge Gemeinden haben deshalb bereits reagiert. So hat der Gemeinderat von Lintgen unlängst auf Betreiber und Lehrerschaft angeordnet, dass die Schüler ihr Handy weder in der Schule noch auf dem Pausenhof benutzen dürfen.

PLANS to allow a new mobile phone mast to be built near a Six Bells primary school have met with anger from concerned parents.

Blaenau Gwent Council confirmed mobile phone company Vodafone had submitted an application to build a new tower, between 10-15m high, on land adjacent to the Old Quarry in Cwm Farm Road, Six Bells, near Bryngwyn Primary.

A council spokeswoman said they were currently consulting Six Bells householders through site notices and letters to individual properties before making a decision.

The spokeswoman added: “As the proposed mast at Six Bells will be less than 15m in height, the council has, under current planning regulations, 56 days to make a decision on the acceptability of its siting and appearance, which it will do through its normal planning procedures.”

Worried parents and residents have started a campaign to convince the planning committee to think twice about giving the tower the green light.
