Village dismay at mast scheme
Controversial plans for a 16.5 metre tall phone mast in a village near Market Drayton have been unveiled by mobile phone giant Vodafone.
The proposed mast would be sited in Betton, alongside three antennas and radio equipment housing, boundary fencing and on site signs.
The news comes as a blow to villagers in Betton and nearby Norton in Hales, who are currently appealing against seven giant wind turbines being sited on land at Bearstone for energy firm Nuon.
An emergency meeting of Norton in Hales Parish Council is expected to be called within the next week.

Published Date: 15 January 2009
By Chris Visser
Campaigners are celebrating after Vodafone withdrew plans for an "eyesore" mast in Fulwood.
The mobile phone giant wanted to place a 13.8m high pole with three antennae and equipment cabinets on the footpath outside the Little Sisters of the Poor care home in Garstang Road.
But residents wrote 28 letters of objection, while 100 signed a petition objecting to the scheme.
They complained the mast would clutter up the pavement, cause obstruction to schoolchildren and the disabled and be an "eyesore."

Opposition to new mobile phone masts grows
By John Connell
Last updated 19:37, Thursday, 15 January 2009
PLANS for a 50ft mobile phone mast have been proposed for Seaton Rugby Club.
Telefónica O2 wants to erect the mast to improve network coverage.
The company has not formally applied to Allerdale council for planning permission and Seaton Parish Council will discuss the proposal on Monday.
Gary Warwick, 65, of nearby Fernleigh Drive, said: “I would say no. We are already having to look at windmills everywhere and I certainly don’t want to be able to see any masts. Who is going to want to look at that? We don’t even know what these things do to you.”
Kathleen Warwick, 64, said: “I wouldn’t want to be able to see an obstruction like that.”

Colchester: Huge response to phone mast bid
11:20am Thursday 15th January 2009
By Claire Owen
More than 450 people have objected to plans for a mobile phone mast near three schools.
Telefonica O2 has submitted proposals for a 12m mast and base station on the corner of Lexden Road and Norman Way in Colchester - near to St Mary's, Colchester County High School for Girls and St Benedict's College.
As well as concerns over its proximity to the schools, other objectors have protested on the grounds of potential health risks, its size and the impact on the nearby conservation area.
Teresa Fox, teacher and governor at County High, is just one of those who have written to Colchester Council.
She said: “As a school, we are honouring the Stewart Report, which suggests a cautionary approach to siting phone masts near children until long term studies have been carried out.

International protest against Bushey Heath phone mast

Dear Filip
Thank you for reporting again on the Bushey Heath Phone Mast protest and thank you for referring to WEEP and particularly, the scientific evidence that links mobile phone radiation to adverse health effects.
There is one thing in your article that I wanted to correct. You referred to W.E.E.P.as an - 'anti-mast group'. This is not correct, we have little concern about masts and we are not anti mast. We are extremely concerned about the electro magnetic radiation emitted by antennas (some on masts) and our concern is based on strong scientific evidence ( http://www.bioinitiative.org ) . We are also highly concerned about other forms of electrical and electromagnetic pollution harming people, animals and the environment.
WEEP (The Canadian Initiative against ) - Wireless Electrical and Electromagnetic Pollution, cares little, if politicians are stupid enough to allow masts that 'blight' highways, towns, cities, the countryside and in particular most scenic high points around the world.
If the antennas on masts did not emit carcinogenic radiation, if they did not affect composition of blood, if they did not affect the heart, the brain and other internal body systems, if they did not harm birds, bees and the environment and if they did not cause what may be the biggest threat to life on earth, WEEP would not complain about all the ugly masts, which have sprouted up over the past twenty years.
WEEP is not opposed to any new technology that is proven to be safe. Microwave radiation (from many sources) is not safe and research over many years has been proven it to be highly dangerous to human health.
Yours sincerely
Martin Weatherall

Pontypool phonemast plans delayed
8:10pm Wednesday 14th January 2009
By Natalie Crockett »
TWO decisions on phone masts in Pontypool were deferred for site visits.
A decision on a 17.5m mobile phone mast in Pontypool was deferred for members of Torfaen council’s planning committee.
Residents living near the site are opposed to the application made by O2 to build a telecommunications mast on land at Wiltan Factory Premises, Estate Road,Pontnewynydd.
Sixty letters of objection were submitted from residents living in 24 properties at Hanbury Road, Merchants Hill and Elled Road and from one industrial premises in Pontypool North Industrial Estate.
Concerns raised include the impact on health, depreciation of the value of homes, visual impact and previous refusals of masts at the site. Pontypool Community Council is also opposed to the plan.
