PARENTS of youngsters attending Ardrossan's newly-rebuilt Stanley Primary say they are shocked and alarmed at plans to site a 50-foot-high mobile phone mast around 50 metres from the school playground.

A NEW mobile phone mast for Laverstock has been given the go-ahead despite the misgivings of both residents and local councillors.

A planning inspector has upheld an appeal by Vodafone against the decision of Salisbury District Council to refuse the application for the 13.4m pole on land at Riverside Road.

People living near the site say the mast will be intrusive and out of place and should not be placed in an area designated as being of high ecological value.

Mobile phone operator O2 has said it could have to build three masts up to 30 metres high in Colkirk if it is forced to seek an alternative site for one new mast it has proposed.

The mobile phone giant, part of BT, wants to put up a 30-metre mast in the village to replace one it already has there but now has to remove.

But Colkirk Parish Council has objected to the proposed new site, which would have six antennae and six dishes on grain trader H Banham's land near the existing site in Church Road.

They say it would be an eyesore, unscreened like the existing mast, and could devalue their homes.

Residents in Bushey have criticised a mobile telephone network for “sneaking through” a mast application before Christmas.

A public consultation regarding O2's application for a communications mast in green belt land by Elstree Road started at the end of November and ended on Boxing Day.

Residents concerned about the impact the mast will have on their lives suggested the consultation was intentionally run during a time when many people were on holiday.

Families were today urged to stand together to fight an appeal which would see a phone mast installed close to people's homes.

Phone giant Vodafone submitted plans in September for a 10m imitation telegraph pole to be installed north of the Old House Plantation in Cunningham Road, Earlham.

But it was turned down by Norwich City Council's planning officers before it got to planning committee.

However, Vodafone has appealed that decision and today city councillors Bert Bremner and Rupert Read urged people living nearby to fight it again.

Mr Bremner, a city councillor for University ward, said his team had leafleted people in September calling on them to oppose the original application.

He said: “We will oppose the appeal again and would urge anyone who opposed the original plans to do likewise.

Alternative health capital turns its 'negative energy' on pioneering wi-fi system

But now the residents of Glastonbury, which has long been a favoured destination for pilgrims, are at the centre of a bitter row in which many blame the town's new wireless computer network - known as wi-fi - for a spate of health problems.

I have a comment on the above information provided by Dr. Eric de Silva, because it is so incorrect, and is such an irresponsible statement to make.

WiFi uses microwave radiation to transmit its information. The health effects of microwave radiation have been known for at least sixty years. There are masses of scientific evidence to prove the adverse health effects of microwave radiation, which is linked to cancer and many other illnesses. It would appear that Dr. da Silva is either lying to the press, miss quoted, or he is speaking on a subject that he is quite ignorant about. Either way, he needs to correct his serious error and provide accurate information to the public.

The statement by Somerset County Council also gives great reason for concern. How can a system like this be an asset, if it is known to harm the citizens exposed to it? The councillors responsible for this experiment need to educate themselves about the dangers of microwave radiation (see - http://www.bioinitiative.org ). It is a shame that they did not do this, prior to approving this dangerous technology.

ITS launch six months ago was marked by a small but clear protest declaring that WiFi was not welcome in Glastonbury.

The scheme gives residents and businesses wireless Internet access, and the growing friction reached a peak on Friday at a public meeting when some people continued to claim their health had been affected.

Most of those at the meeting, hosted by Somerset County Council, called for the system to be unplugged. For two hours, residents expressed anger at not being told about the system before it was implemented.

Since it was switched on in May, many residents claim to have been suffering from symptoms such as headaches, dizziness and, in some cases, panic attacks. Some say they are no longer able to visit the town because the effects are so severe.

Jane Sanders, a Glastonbury resident of 20 years, was first to raise the health concerns and said: "I was really devastated when I found that the new Glastonbury WiFi signal reached my office. It had not occurred to me that it would stretch that far, so I wasn't expecting it. But I noticed when sitting in my office that I began to feel some familiar symptoms.
