CONCERNED residents turned out for a council cabinet meeting this week to reiterate concerns about telecom masts in their area.

Residents of Gurney Court Road, St Albans, and surrounding streets are worried about the impact of an imminent planning application from O2 to install nine microcells in their area.

And their councillor Salih Gaygusuz accused the cabinet of appearing to have done nothing to resolve their efforts to persuade Herts County Council to take a more robust approach to the siting of telecoms masts and equipment in the district.

The cabinet is pressing the county to consider new guidelines for the positioning of masts on their land to give the district council more leverage at planning appeals.

Although county has a procedure in place for considering requests to put telecoms equipment on its land, it does not set out any specific criteria on which applications would be rejected.

That is in contrast to other authorities, such as Milton Keynes, which has a policy that it will not normally permit equipment on its land within 50 metres of residential properties, nurseries, playgroups, school grounds or medical facilities.

A parochial church council meeting will decide next week whether to further investigate proposals to site a mobile phone mast in Christ Church, Oakworth.

The body will discuss on Tuesday the possibility of installing the structure inside the church’s tower. The idea had originally been put forward by Surrey-based company New Edge Telecommunications.

AN electronics firm wants to build a 42ft mobile phone mast next to one of Romsey’s largest residential areas.

Plans are in the pipeline to construct a Vodafone base station on land at the corner of Braishfield Road and Winchester Road, backing on to the Great Woodley estate.

But the scheme, outlined by Tyco Electronics, has already been given a lukewarm reception by Romsey Town Council.

After discussing the matter at their planning committee, councillors decided to write to the company warning that residents may have health fears.

A COUNCILLOR concerned about the expansion of mobile telephone infrastructure says publicly owned bodies that lease land to operators should be challenged.

Alderman David Hilditch has also expressed disappointment that planners, who had been asked to reconsider their original decision to grant permission for a Vodafone base station close to the North Road, do not appear to have taken on board objections raised by local residents.
