Another Tetra phone mast put up without permission is one on the Fairways Industrial Estate in Moulsecoomb.

The matter came to the planning committee and I spoke against it and the committee voted against the mast, so it should have been removed. Now there is an appeal under way and we do not know the result yet.

Though the mast is sited on an industrial area, the top of it is in line with houses in Appledore Road. It is also not far from sheltered housing in Moulsecoomb Way. In spite of assurances from the Government, there is doubt over their safety and residents want the removal of masts from places near their homes.

I shall certainly continue to press this one to be taken away.
