Haverhill Today

Haverhill's MP Richard Spring is continuing the fight against the Hazel Stub roundabout phone mast.

Mr Spring has written strong letters of protest to both the deputy prime minister John Prescott and to Bob Fuller, chief executive of Hutchinson 3G UK Limited.

He told Mr Fuller in a strong letter that he felt Hutchinson 3G had 'ridden roughshod over the views of the local community, the local authority and myself' – he also told the deputy PM that the time for personal action was now clearly overdue.

Mr Spring also felt that Hutchinson had ignored the mobile phone network development code of best practice on more than one occasion.

He said: "I remain extremely anxious about the potential health and environment impact of such an installation on my constituents.

He added: "The local community has been united in opposing this with a petition, letters, rallies as well as a letter appealing to the company's chief executive, asking him to consider an alternative location.

"Disgracefully, Hutchinson 3G has been able to ride roughshod over the views of local people."
