A telecommunications company looks set to be thwarted in its efforts to put up a phone mast in a Shropshire town.

Thirty-six people have written to complain about Three's plan to erect the mast inside a flagpole on top of the telephone exchange in Bridgnorth.

Planning officers have now recommended that the company's application should be rejected on the basis the flagpole could spoil views of the town.

A final decision is expected to be made later in the month.
