Controversial plans to build two mobile phone masts at Willingdon Golf Club have been scrapped after threats were allegedly made to a member of the club's board.

Vodafone and T-Mobile had both been given permission to put up 15-metre high masts on the course despite objections from hundreds of local residents.

It is believed the club would have received around £12,000 from the deal.

But it has now abandoned the plans, which have taken more than a year to come to fruition, after what it called 'serious and direct threats to individuals and property'.

However, residents are claiming victory saying the club had come to the right decision in the face of public pressure and the threat of anti-mast members leaving the club.

Wandsworth Council last night rejected all eight applications by Orange to build mobile phone masts in Southfields.

The planning committee said the refusals were due to heavy public objection, obstruction to footpaths, and detriment to the visual appearance of the area.

The decision ended months of anxiety for residents in West Hill and East Putney, who said the masts were a health hazard.

The proposed telecommunications mast will replace one of the floodlight pylons at the sports centre

Mobile phone company O2 UK has applied to North Hertfordshire District Council (NHDC) for planning permission to erect a 15.6m high telecommunications column with a floodlight attachment on land at the sports centre in Whitethorn Lane in Letchworth GC.

A PHONE company's appeal against a council decision to refuse planning permission for a mast has brought a furious reaction from residents.

Mobile provider O2 applied for permission back in March 2007 to erect a 12.5m phone mast outside the Total petrol station in London Road, Sawbridgeworth.

The chairman of Bridgnorth Town Football Club today claimed T Mobile’s plans to build a phone mast on its ground are detrimental to what the club is trying to achieve.

Eric Eagles said he was worried a 17m mast could turn people away from the club and sour relations with the community - even though it has nothing to do with them.

His comments come after T Mobile’s application to build a new floodlight with a telecommunications antennae at the Crown Meadow ground was finally registered with the district council.

Bridgnorth Town FC, which leases the ground at Innage Lane from the town council, has already voiced its opposition to the scheme.

A SENIOR States member has accused the island’s utility regulator of ‘letting down the people of Guernsey’.

Yesterday the Office of Utility Regulation announced plans to amend phone operators’ licences to make rival companies share telephone masts.

But Deputy Mary Lowe said this should have been the case from the start and would have avoided putting islanders through ‘years of anguish’.
