KEMSING residents have come out in force to oppose plans to install a phone mast in the village.

Telefónica UK, on behalf of mobile phone giant O2, is on the verge of submitting a planning application for a 3G mast on a grass area on the corner of West End and Childsbridge Lane.

But Rod Wakefield, who runs the newsagents in Dynes Road, said many residents are opposed to the plans.

"I have lots of people coming in telling me about it and how much they don't want it," he said.

"People don't want a telephone mast right outside their front door."

Letters dated October 6 from O2 have been dropped through residents' doors giving them 14 days to make comments on the proposal before a planning application is made.

ANXIOUS residents are battling plans for a mobile phone mast on their doorstep.

Communications giant Vodafone has lodged an application to install a mast tower at the corner of Barley Lane and Eastern Avenue, Chadwell Heath.

Joanna Lopes, of Freshwell Avenue, Chadwell Heath, raised health concerns about the mast, which is close to Newbridge School, Barley Lane, Goodmayes, Little Heath School, Hainault Road, and King George Hospital, Barley Lane, Goodmayes.

RESIDENTS are celebrating after plans for a large Vodafone mast in the centre of Tytherington were scrapped.

The communications’ giant withdrew its application to install a mobile phone mast on Manchester Road, close to the Shell Service Station, following objections from Ian Davies and his neighbours on Bluebell Close – and, bizarrely, the Bat Society.

Residents sent letters of protest to Macclesfield Borough Council on the grounds that the mast did not meet Government guidelines and was too close to Marlborough Primary School and Tytherington High School.

The High Court in Tema has restrained Zain Ghana Limited, a mobile telecommunications company, from constructing a phone mast at a house at Adjiringano, a suburb of Accra. The order, which took effect from Friday, October 17, 2008 is valid for 10 days.

The court gave the order following an application for an order of interim injunction to restrain the company from constructing the phone mast at No.14 Manor Valley Road which was filed on behalf of some residents of Adjiringano by Mr Kojo Graham, the Executive Director of the Centre for Human Rights and Civil Liberties (CHUCIL), an NGO.

According to the residents, checks from regulatory bodies had proved that the company was putting up the mast without the requisite approval from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA), the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), among other regulatory bodies.

They further argued that phone masts and towers were internationally known and reported, through scientific research and case studies, to be sources of harmful radioactive and electromagnetic emissions against individuals and communities living near and within the environs of erected phone masts and towers.
