Phone mast row at caravan park
Phone mast row at caravan park
OWNERS of a caravan park on Hayling fear tourists will desert them if a mobile phone mast is allowed. Vodafone wants to put up a 33ft mast in Fishery Lane to boost its coverage on the island. Businesses and homes in the area are furious after being sent letters telling them about the application. They are worried about radiation from the mast – and fear tourists will not want to bring their children to the island if they know the mast is there.
If the mast gets the go-ahead it will go up in Fishery Lane, between Hayling Recycling Centre and Fishery Creek Caravan Park. Darko Emersic, owner of Fishery Creek, has consulted solicitors and says he is prepared to fight the firm all the way. Vodafone's application to Havant Borough Council is to determine if it needs to apply for planning permission for the structure.
Jane Frapwell, of Vodafone, said better mobile phone coverage might even encourage people to visit the campsite.'
