FUTURE phone masts in Stoke-on-Trent should be installed on council property and away from schools to limit potential health risks, according to a council committee.

Members of Stoke-on-Trent City Council's health overview and scrutiny committee have spent the last year assessing claims that emissions of radiation from mobile phone equipment pose a health hazard.

(CNSNews.com) – A grassroots group says local governments, not the U.S. government, should regulate telecommunications towers, which some people consider a threat to health and the environment.

The Coalition for Local Oversight of Utility Technologies (CLOUT) points to California, where the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted on June 2 to actively seek federal legislation that would repeal portions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

A PERTH parent has accused Perth and Kinross Council’s planning wing of showing a “complete disregard” for safety after a controversial mobile phone mast was approved a stone’s throw from Perth Grammar School.

Communications giant O2 applied to the local authority to erect a 17.5-metre tall device within the grounds of the treatment works on the Fair City’s Gowans Terrace.

Ellen McKay, a member of the nearby school’s parent council, attended the council’s development control committee meeting this week and raised numerous objections.

Following the project’s approval, she said children may be exposed to “dangerous levels” of electromagnetic waves because the structure will be just 125 metres from the 1025-pupil institution.

She added: “The planning application was flawed in the first place due to the lack of consultation with the school and local residents – and despite evidence that suggests beams from the mast will land right within the school.

“I was also disappointed with the attitude of the planning officials, who clearly have no interest or concern for health issues.

Could you please circulate the information below, thank you.

Wifiinschools.org.uk has had a suggestion from a parent for an International NO-Wi-Fi in schools or workplaces day. The idea is to choose three days during the year (one for each school term) where parents of children in schools that use wireless technologies can choose keep their children at home and teachers or employees from other workplaces can choose not to go to work. The aim would be to draw attention to the involuntary exposure of so many people to man-made microwaves. This shouldn’t significantly affect children’s education, although may affect the school’s attendance statistics.

We are interested in feedback about this idea. Do you think this could work? Any comments, suggestions, ideas or concerns please send to contact@wifiinschools.org.uk Thank you for your help.



Hi WiFi in schools

I believe that the potential danger to children from microwave radiation is so great that the idea has real merit. For this idea to be successful you would have to ensure that the home environment of the children also has no wireless pollution i.e. DECT cordless telephones, Wi-Fi and other wireless devices. I am sure that the wise and more concerned parents would have already taken these precautions, but you may need to educate others.

Ailsworth residents and parish councillors are up in arms after a controversial 15m high phone mast in their village was given the go-ahead because of a planning department mix up.

When Orange Personal Communications Services submitted an application in 2005 to build a mobile phone mast off Helpston Road in Ailsworth, near Peterborough, it was immediately met with considerable local opposition.

COUNTY planners have been left with egg on their faces after a blunder allowed the erection of a mobile phone mast right outside a school.

They dragged their feet for so long over a proposal to erect the mast outside Darras Hall First School that their decision to say “no” came too late.

And now angry parents and school governors are demanding an explanation as to what went wrong.

Parents have also raised a petition to persuade applicants Telefonica to seek a less contentious site for the mast.
