Being a good neighbour has cost a charity £68,000.

Galloway's Society for the Blind has pulled out of a plan to erect a mobile phone mast after a barrage of complaints from residents living nearby.

The charity say the action will cost them £68,000 – and phone company O2 will still go ahead with their plans on a different site.

PLANS to put up a phone mast outside an ancient church in Seaford have been 'cynically timed', says a district councillor.

Vodaphone has lodged an application to build a 10-metre mast and equipment cabinet on the pavement at St Peter's Church in Belgrave Road, Blatchington.

Ward councillor Carolyn Lambert is appealing for people to object to 'this outrageous proposition' and said: 'How cynical as well to submit the application at a time when many people are likely to be on holiday?'

She said the pole and antennae would stand on a normal-sized pavement on a busy route to the nearby primary school. An application for a 12-metre pole was refused in 2005 because its siting and design was considered 'to represent an incongruous intrusion into the street scene'.

Cllr Lambert said: 'And a dangerous impediment to pedestrians might be added.'

A Colchester head teacher has hit out at a mobile phone company for starting a consultation during the school holidays.

Bridget Harris, head teacher at St Thomas More’s Catholic Primary School, said she received a letter from Vodafone regarding plans for a mobile mast on nearby St Botolph’s Church only because a school secretary happened to go in to work.

“What has angered me is that we’re given 14 days to complain but the letter was sent to arrive after we closed for the summer,” she said.

The Green Party is calling on the Government to intervene to protect communities and schools from having 12 to 22 metre cell towers erected next door to homes, schools and pre-schools, without consultation or consent.

The Titahi Bay community is the latest in a series of communities which has discovered that a cell tower is about to be built right next to their homes - even though they have not been consulted or given their consent.

Calls have been made for a telecommunications giant to abandon its plans for a phone mast near to people's homes.

Mobile phone company O2 has applied to install the 10m high replica telegraph pole mast at Reepham Road, Hellesdon.

The application is due to be considered by Broadland District Council's planning committee on Wednesday and have already been recommended for approval by planning officers.

But today, families who live in the area have spoken out about their concerns and have called for the plans to be scrapped.
