A GROUP of residents have gathered to protest against plans to site a mobile phone mast next to a school and houses.

Plymouth City Council is considering whether the 12-metre mast, which Vodafone would like to erect in Plympton, needs planning permission.

Yesterday concerned residents gathered at the site, on the corner of Redwood Drive and Glen Road, to urge others to object to the proposal.

Richard Madge, 68, lives on adjacent Hickory Drive. He said: "We know the health issues can't be proven one way or the other, in the same way they couldn't prove that smoking was bad for you.

Residents are preparing to fight plans for a phone mast for the third time.
It comes just two months after a council rejected the proposal.

Phone company O2 has submitted plans to Kettering Council to replace its existing mobile phone mast at the Ise Garden Centre in Warkton Lane, Kettering, and to add three extra antennae.

But nearby residents have vowed to fight the plans for the third time in three years, claiming the mast could have adverse effects on their long-term health.

AN apparent conflict has arisen over who asked for a meeting on controversial telecommunications masts in Leixlip to be held in private.
Leixlip Town Councillors met representatives of Vilicom, a company advising the Office of Public Works (OPW) on telecommunications in private on Tuesday, 4 November.

Journalists and a member of the public arriving for the Council's monthly meeting were surprised that representatives from Vilicom met the Town Council 'in committee'.

People living in one city ward have united to oppose plans for another mobile mast by forming a campaign group to stop it being set up near their homes.

Earlham Mast Fight has already collected 100 signatures of support in its fight against a 20-metre mast being put up on an industrial estate on Guardian Road.

The mast has been proposed by Orange and it is the third application in just one month in the Wensum ward, with applications already submitted for two masts close to the Co-op in Earlham Green Lane.
