Battle over mast is stalemate
Evening Times Glasgow
THE FIGHT to keep a mobile phone mast away from a hospital and school has reached a stalemate.
Pollok families in Glasgow's south side have picketed the site at the junction of Kempsthorn Road and Crookston Road, and no mast has been built.
Bosses at O2 were given permission for a 56ft mast in March.
Campaigners argued its location near houses, a school and Leverndale Hospital was unsuitable.
The Evening Times reported that as workmen arrived on site, so did the campaigners.
For six weeks, mums, dads, children and even grandparents staged a peaceful protest, supported by local councillor Keith Baldassara. Councillor Baldassara said: "I would assume it's stalemate as they've not come back out. "But as soon as they do we will be there."
O2 are "re-assessing" the situation.
