It follows huge concern among residents when telecommunications giants announce plans to install masts close to housing estates and playing fields.

Now the council cabinet, which meets on May 11, is set to spell out exactly which matters councillors should consider when applications are made for phone masts and radio equipment.

Accra, May 02, GNA - Mr. Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Communications, has urged telecom operators to be considerate of peoples' reservations about telecom towers mounted close to their dwelling place and institute measures to allay the anxieties of the public.

He noted that there had been considerable amount of public concern about telecom masts and their health and safety implications, saying that he personally received a complaint regarding some MTN telecom tower mounted in a home at Tamale, and the residents feared that "the tower is causing malaria."

AN ALTERNATIVE site for the controversial Foxes Piece phone mast has been found, communications giant Orange has announced.

In a joint statement with Wycombe District Council the mobile phone operator revealed “a potentially suitable location” has been earmarked - in Station Approach - after a series of tests were carried out earlier this year.

It will now contact residents in the street prior to the plan being submitted to WDC.

Campaigners have issued a cautious welcome to the news, saying they will reserve their celebrations until it is certain the 12m tall antenna in Little Marlow Road, Marlow will not be built.

ANGRY neighbours have vowed to fight communication giant Vodafone in what is shaping up to be the battle of the Balston Road phone mast.

Shocked Poole mum Melanie Brown is leading the charge after learning the mast could be sited just five metres from her three-year-old daughter’s bedroom.

“I am very concerned that in ten years time we will begin to see the effects of these masts on our children,” she said.

DESPITE opposition from parents and residents, a mobile phone mast may still be placed near a Bridlington primary school.

Vodaphone first revealed its plans to place a mobile phone base station on the grass verge in front of Martongate Primary School last September.

Angry residents and parents opposed the move due to fears over the possible negative side effects caused to youngsters' health by radiation emitted from the mast.

CAMPAIGNERS have launched a second battle to stop a phone mast being erected close to a nursery.

Telefonica O2's proposal to build a 49ft mast in Weston Coyney has already been rejected by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, but the firm has appealed the decision and still wants to build the mock telegraph pole, with three integrated antennas and equipment cabinet, at the corner of Park Hall Road and Weston Road.

The matter is currently awaiting a ruling from a planning inspector, who is unlikely to make his site visit before May 6.

Last time, hundreds of people objected to the proposed site directly opposite St Andrew's Church, which houses St Andrews and St Peters Pre-school.

And ward councillor Michael Coleman says he has already received many complaints about the appeal.

Your cellphone purchases might be fueling the world’s worst sexual violence. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a place most of us will never go, and the war there is affecting people most of us will never meet. But the link between our demand for electronic products and mass human suffering is incredibly direct. It is stunning that we as consumers have been completely unaware of the complex chain of events tying widespread sexual violence in Congo to the minerals that help power our cellphones, laptops, mp3 players, video games, and digital cameras. Thankfully, there is an alternative: Companies and consumers alike must use our buying power to bring this deadly war fueled by ‘conflict minerals’ to an end...
