Phone mast “tree” planned for Gleneagles Hotel ground
Apr 11 2005
IN the run-up to the G8 summit in July, a planning application has been lodged with Perth and Kinross Council for a new mobile phone mast in the grounds of Gleneagles Hotel.
Permission has been sought for an 18-metre high replica cypress tree mast to blend in as much as possible with the scenic surroundings of the hotel.
Simon Brown of Gleneagles Hotel said: “We are currently considering upgrading our service and this mast would be a part of this process.”
Jane Frapwell, spokesperson for Vodaphone, the company who would install the mast added: “This mast would allow us to provide third generation services for the local community, which means that mobile phones can be used in the same way as you use desk-top computers with broadband internet access.”
