Local residents are angry at plans to erect a mobile phone mast in the main street of a Perthshire town.

The mobile phone company O2 have proposed building the mast behind advertising hoardings on the High Street, at its junction with Castleton Road, in Achterarder.

John Yacomeni, Achterarder Community Council chairman, has said he will fight the proposals "tooth and nail", claiming that it would be an eyesore in the town.

Ochil and South Perthshire MP Gordon Banks told the Perthshire Advertiser: "I appreciate the need for telecoms masts as the majority of people own a mobile and there is always a desire for an improved service.

"But I have serious concerns around the health impact of masts in densely populated areas and places where people congregate."

NEW regulations to set up phone masts in the Muharraq Governorate have been given an initial approval, pending backing from environment authorities.

The Muharraq Municipal Council approved the regulations in principle, but chairman Mohammed Hammada said it planned to contact the Public Commission for the Protection of Marine Resources, Environment and Wildlife.

The council banned the setting up of new masts in September 2007, while councillors investigated their safety. But some masts have been erected illegally.

ANGRY residents have staged a protest against plans to erect a 12.5m mobile phone mast in their midst.

People living close to the junction of Kensington Road and Queen's Road, where phone company O2 has applied to site a mast, took to the streets to protest yesterday.

A petition against the mast was handed to Councillor Andy Kerswell.

Jon Payn, the owner of West Hill Stores, said his shop and home are just 15 metres from the proposed site.

He said: "There are a lot of very angry people here. A lot of people are objecting, as they are all over the country."

He said many people were very concerned about the long term health implications of living near a mobile phone mast, as some studies suggest they could be harmful.

THINK you are safe from mobile phone masts? Think again.

It was by pure accident that we found out that two 6ft Vodafone mobile telephone mast were being erected on the roof of a block of flats right next door to us.

The freeholder, who lives in Essex, had granted a 20-year lease without any consultation to any leaseholder/resident.

We found out from the planning department that consent was not required as it came under the "permitted development" banner.

The government grant licences to the phone companies, giving them revenue in excess of £22 billion.

Again, it is profit over people, as they will not take any research into health implications into consideration.
