The phone mast that has sprung up in Exning Road

By Robert Andrews

A COUNCIL blunder that led to a mobile phone mast being put up in Exning Road has left residents fuming.

The 30ft mast which resembles a lamp post, has been installed by mobile phone company O2 on the new leisure centre site next to Newmarket College.

Jim Stevenson, community liaison manager for O2, claimed the company had written to nearby residents telling them the mast was going to be put up.

But residents contacted by the Journal said they had received nothing, while some did not even realise the new structure was a phone mast.

Leaders of a Nelson playcentre, upset over plans to build a 22m-high cellphone tower metres from where dozens of preschoolers play, fear parents will pull their children out.

Telecom is set to build a cellphone mast at its Atawhai exchange site at Atawhai Crescent in June.

The exchange is next to the playcentre, which cares for up to 70 children, from newborns to six-year-olds.

The Dubai British School (DBS) has lodged a complaint with du for erecting a disguised mobile mast next to the school’s primary unit.

The mast, which is also adjacent to a mosque and to a shopping centre which also houses Spinneys, was erected without consulting school authorities, said Peter Moore, DBS Primary Head Teacher.

DBS staff and parents are worried the mast is a "potential health hazard since its radiation poses serious threats like childhood leukaemia – a common concern in the UAE," said Lucy John, an anxious parent.

HUNDREDS of people who opposed plans for a 60ft mobile phone mast in their community have won their fight.

Springboig Bowling Club was considering renting part of its site to mobile firm 02, which is having to move its current phone mast in Springboig Avenue due to building work.

Local residents who live near the club opposed the plan to move it to the club's land saying they were concerned over health fears.

They claimed the club would get £20,000 for allowing it to be moved and collected 200 letters against the plan.

Concerned members of the community held a meeting last week to oppose plans for mobile phone antennas at Faulconbridge.

A group of parents have voiced their opposition to a set of mobile phone antennas planned for a site close to Faulconbridge Public School.

Last week the Gazette revealed a Vodafone and Optus proposal which sought to use private land occupied by the Ugg Boot store in Faulconbridge for the three new antennas.

The school’s P & C has since indicated it will oppose the installation at this site, holding a meeting last Thursday night to discuss the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) emitted from mobile phone towers.
