WOODBRIDGE - Plans to build a new cell phone tower in town continue to generate unrest among residents. At the Sept. 17 Board of Selectmen meeting, residents showed up in force to oppose building a cell phone tower on private land owned by the Arnold family. Verizon has been actively seeking a site for a cell tower to improve local coverage but has made no definite decisions.

A head teacher in Lincolnshire has voiced anxiety about plans to put up a mobile phone mast near to his school.

T-Mobile has sought planning permission to erect a mast on West Street in Horncastle, near the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, the BBC reports.

The mobile operator insists that there is no evidence that masts pose a public health hazard.

I posted the following on the SFGate website in response to their article "Google a victim of EarthLink woes with cancellation of S.F. Wi-Fi"

I find it a bit perplexing why there is no mention of the dangers posed by WiFi. But then again if one thinks about the money and power the cell phone industry possesses, then it is possible to also imagine the cause of this media blackout. Having said that, the German government has recently warned its populace against using WiFi - and that of cell phones only in emergencies. In Austria, the Vienna Physician's Association has issued similar warnings. A recent report - called the BioInitiative - issued by a group of internationally renowned scientists, researchers, and public health professionals has clearly stated that present levels of ambient radiation are dangerous and 1000 times what they should be. The European Environmental Agency has also highlighted the risk on its website. Over forty million Americans take sleep medication for insomnia. A recent British report has stated one in forty children now suffer from Autism. Brain tumors are now the number one cause of death in children.

If anyone else is interested, please do go to their website (you have to register) and make your own comments.

SIR - I must thank Mr Michael Dolan for his letter (Gazette, August 29) in which he seeks to reassure us that mobile phone masts are not harmful.

I am well acquainted with Sir William Stewart's report, from which the important statement emerged that the erection of mobile phone masts should only proceed "with caution." The report also revealed that children are 50 per cent more likely than adults to suffer from the effects of masts and mobile phones and Sir William stated that he would not allow his grandchildren to use mobile phones.

WHAT is the point of an elected council if the only people they represent are members of the Government?

I refer to the shocking way in which Herefordshire Council recently accepted T-Mobile's application for a mobile phone mast in the centre of Colwall in spite of considerable opposition.

In a very small locality well over 200 people opposed the mast by signing a petition or sending letters of protest. Many of these individuals represent larger community groups, including children. This was clearly a most unpopular proposal.
