Campaigners tried but failed to halt the application for the mast on the Peruzzi scrap metal yards site in Waterworks Road before it reached the planning stage.

An application for the mast on a concrete base with two cabinets and ancillary equipment has been submitted for approval to Norwich City Council.

A STUDY into the potential health risks of mobile phone masts could be carried out soon in Muharraq. The proposed investigation was due to be discussed by the Muharraq Municipal Council yesterday, but has been postponed since only four of eight councillors showed up for its first meeting after the summer break.

It has been forced onto the council's agenda by 150 Busaiteen residents, who have signed a petition against phone masts in their area.

Ian PearsonAn MP has spoken of his disappointment after a mobile phone company won a fight to put up a mast yards from a Black Country primary school, despite objections from more than 200 people.

But Ian Pearson said that Wordsley residents must now learn to live with the mast. Hutchison 3G was refused planning permission to put up a mast 250 metres from Belle Vue Primary School in Lawnswood Road, Wordsley, in March. But the firm appealed against the decision.

The planning inspectorate in Bristol has now overturned the ruling.

Protesters are disappointed at the news the 41ft-high mast will go up. The move comes despite a wave of objections from residents and parents, pupils and staff at Belle Vue Primary.

Dudley South MP Ian Pearson, now a government minister for science, backed the protesters and wrote a letter objecting to the planning application.
