The plans were submitted to North Wiltshire District Council by mobile phone giant Orange for the 12 metre high pole and two antennas.

The council had received 11 letters from people living nearby objecting to the mast, which is set be positioned on the hill over Brunel's famous tunnel.

TWO major mobile phone companies have been ordered to take down a phone mast in Gateshead after tireless campaigning by families.

O2 and Vodafone built the 20-metre mast at the Glebe Sports Ground in Whaggs Lane, Whickham, last year without the correct planning permission.

The companies appealed against an order for it to be removed but lost. Government planning inspectors decided the mast was a “dominant and overbearing structure”, particularly for those living nearby, and the companies have been given four months to take down the mast.

Parents say they will keep fighting to remove a mobile phone mast from outside a school.

The pledge comes after Notts County Council apparently ignored calls to remove the mast close to Lowe's Wong Junior and Infant Schools.

Campaigners have collected 1,600 names on a protest petition, which they have handed in to the county council. But the petition looks set to be thrown out at a full council meeting tomorrow.

SARUM Road reservoir in Winchester, home to three telecom operators, may be getting a fourth tenant in the near future.

Mobile phone giant, Vodafone, is hoping to install antennae and satellite dishes in a mast share deal with O2, which already occupies a 20-metre mast on the site.

The Southern Water reservoir has been the subject of much protest in the past as the surrounding area is mainly residential with Sarum Road Hospital and Kings' School Boarding House close by.

Critics fear the lives of youngsters at Aldersbrook Primary School, in Harpenden Road, could be put at risk if Vodafone received permission to locate the powerful electronic equipment in nearby Aldersbrook Road.
