THREE Vodafone mobile phone masts planned for Workington have won the backing of the town council, despite 71 objections from residents.

Workington Town Council, which was consulted on the plans by Allerdale council, has recommended that plans should be approved.

Plans include a 40ft mast to be erected in the car park of the Travellers’ Rest, a 40ft mast on Salterbeck Road and a 55ft mast installed behind the TA Centre on Harrington Road.

Phil Cram, 61, of Ashfield Gardens, who lives 50 feet from the proposed mast site at the Travellers’ Rest, collected 50 signatures on a petition against the mast.

He said: “I am very disappointed that Workington council has recommended approval. If they had been on a site visit they would have a different perspective on the application.”

Residents felt that the mast would be a visual intrusion, reduce the value of property and pose a risk to their health.

COUNCILLORS are angry over plans to install another phone mast in Braintree.

District councillors in Braintree east have received letters about Vodafone’s proposal to put a 10metre high radio base station between the junction of Clay Pits and the A131.

The letter from Waldon Telecoms,on behalf of the mobile phone company, said there was a deficiency in 3G coverage across the area that did not meet Vodafone’s statutory obligations.
