PARENTS WILL FIGHT PHONE MAST PLANS
Published in News & Star on Wednesday, July 27th 2005
VODAFONE will hold an exhibition tomorrow about its plans to erect a mobile phone mast in the centre of Morton in Carlisle.
The telecommunications giant wants to put up a 10-metre high mast on the pavement outside Morton Community Centre in Wigton Road to provide 3G coverage.
All 50 parents and staff from Manor pre-school in the community centre will fight the plans because they fear the mast will damage their children’s health.
Vodafone did look at another site near the BP Garage in Wigton Road but changed its mind after public opposition and city council advice.
Vodafone will hold the exhibition at Morton Community Church in Stonegarth between 4.30pm until 7.30pm.
After consultation, a planning application will be made.
