A Petition against more telecommunication equipment being added to the base station at Barry College has been started. The environmental impact and health issues are being cited as the prime causes of concern against the proposals by Vodaphone and O2, and local residents have already collected 450 signatures. They are also due to meet with John Smith MP tomorrow (Friday). A spokeswoman for the group of residents said: “We do not wish to have more equipment added to this eyesore of a mast. “Your home should be your sanctuary and my family have a right to live in a safe and tranquil environment.”
