PROTESTERS will gather outside Blaenau Gwent council’s planning offices in opposition to plans to build a mobile phone mast 70 metres from a Six Bells primary school.

Members of Six Bells Against the Mast Action group say they are worried about the safety of their children and are concerned about the effect the mast could have on their children’s health.

Neighbours can nearly touch antenna from bedroom window – Castaldi Paris

James Debono Lija mayor Ian Castaldi Paris tomorrow will be filing a judicial protest against Melita plc and the Malta Communications Authority, calling for the removal of an antenna on the roof of a house in Preziosi Street. The antenna, which faces neighbours’ bedrooms, is so close that a resident “can nearly touch the antenna from his own bedroom window,” Castaldi Paris claims. MaltaToday is informed the house on which the antenna was erected is rented out to foreign students. The Lija council is demanding that the antenna be removed in a week’s time. The council is also holding the owner of the house, the MCA and Melita plc responsible for any harm caused to residents by the antenna.

Vodafone has pulled plans to appeal against objections to two mobile phone masts.

Just last month the mobile phone giant told the Weekly News it would carry out a review of the decision and the reasons for refusal of masts at Beehive Hill and Oaks Road before an appeal would be considered.

But this week Kenilworth MP Jeremy Wright has revealed they have decided not to appeal, but are keen to look at other areas in the town.

Mr Wright said: "This is great news for the residents in these two areas and shows that people can really make a difference. Vodafone does want to talk to residents at another point, however, to discuss where future masts could go."

The proposals were thrown out by Warwick District Council planners twice last year, but the phone company is still looking at Kenilworth as a serious option for a new mast.

Fears about a 12m-high mobile phone mast being sited near two primary schools in Shrewsbury are to be highlighted in Parliament.

Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski is to raise the concerns about Vodafone’s plans to install the mast in Copthorne, on a site which nearly 1,000 campaigners fought to keep clear just under two years ago.

Demonstrators celebrated after their protest campaign, including a 950-signature petition, forced phone firm O2 to reconsider its plans for a 41ft antenna at Copthorne in March, 2007.
