Group to intervene over mast row
BBC News website 25.06.05
The body which runs Roman Catholic schools in the region has intervened in the row over a mobile phone mast near a Warwickshire primary school.
The Diocesan Schools Commission is to ask phone company 02 to move the mast away from St Edwards RC school in Coleshill.
Parents of pupils at the school say the mast is responsible for complaints such as headaches and nosebleeds.
O2 has denied that its mast is responsible for the complaints.
Around 40 children at the school left class on Friday morning to join a protest against the siting of the mast.
The Diocesan Schools Commission, which owns St Edwards, said it understands the concerns but says it is not qualified to comment on the alleged effects of the mast transmissions.
It has agreed to ask O2 to relocate the mast as a gesture of goodwill.
