--------

And still it goes on, week after week! The guilty LPA planning officers
(who give their so-called professional advice to councillors and so often recommend approval of telecoms applications without due consideration of the pros and cons) demonstrate yet again their incompetence and ignorance of the associated legislation. Any complaint to the Local Government Ombudsman in such circumstances is all very well but the sooner someone takes an LPA to court (vide the the learned statements of three Appeal Court judges in the 'Bardsey' case) the better. We might then see something being done!

MOBILE phone company, TMobile UK, has applied to put up a 13 metre-high mast in a residential part of Ringwood.

The mast, along with equipment cabinets, is planned for a site at the junction of Eastfield Lane and Gorley Road.

But those plans have upset some residents on Eastfield Lane, who claim heavy goods vehicles are already using the road as a "rat run" and a mast would pose "more danger" to motorists and walkers.

And Ringwood Town Council's planning committee is recommending refusal for the mast, claiming its location would have an "adverse" affect on traffic safety.

This country (Trinidad) seems to have found a good use of its army - removal of illegal cell phone towers. My question is this - If cell phone towers are causing illness and death to the population, are they not all illegal? How can the financial interests of cell phone companies, come above the health and safety of a population?
