AN MP is leading a campaign to halt the installation of a second mobile phone mast in a Warwickshire village.

Warwick and Leamington MP James Plaskitt is urging residents to back him in the fight against T-Mobile's plans to install a 10-metre mast in Cubbington.

The campaign comes after rival mobile phone operator O2 installed a mast in the village earlier this year, despite fierce opposition from residents.

A PHONE mast will be attached to a church spire despite fears it will be used to distribute pornography to children.

Telecommunications giant T-Mobile has been given the green light by the ecclesiastical Court of Arches to erect the mast at SS Peter and Paul church on The Green, Chingford, which will be paid an unspecified sum.

Campaigners say it is wrong for the church to facilitate the distribution of pornography and called for the Diocese of Chelmsford to intervene.

Residents in Rickman Hill, Coulsdon, are set to oppose the installation of a mobile phone mast in their road - for the third time in nine months.

Two previous applications for the eight-metre mast and antenna were withdrawn by mobile phone giant Orange after residents voiced their disapproval.

However, they have submitted proposals for a third time.

Richard Shore, a member of the Coulsdon West Residents' Association, said: "People opposed it in the past and the residents' association put in objections and I believe we will be putting in another one as it is very near a park used by children."

Plans to extend the life of a controversial phone mast in Churcham could create havoc for migrating swans. Phone giant T-Mobile wants planning permission to maintain its temporary mast for another six months.

But the 24.4-metre structure could confuse migrating Bewick's swans, it is claimed.

Wildlife groups including Cotswold Animal and Bird Rescue and Natural England have voiced concern over the effect the mast's magnetic field has on the birds' sense of navigation in the final stages of their journey from the Arctic to warmer climes in England.
