A Scientist claims he has evidence that there is a link between 25 cases of cancer and a nearby mobile phone mast.

The Echo reported in 2002 how there had been 10 cases of cancer near a mast in Gainsborough.

Five years on, radiation specialist Dr John Walker says he has now identified 25 cases of cancer in the area and believes he has identified a link between them and the aerials.

His research suggests that people who sleep in the emissions area of a phone mast risk harm to their immune system.

There have been campaigns against numerous masts across Lincolnshire, including one on the Birchwood Shopping Centre in Lincoln, one in Langton Hill, near Horncastle, and another at The Forum in North Hykeham.

The people affected in Gainsborough all live within a half-mile radius of the aerials on a water tower in Ash Grove.

Their cases involve cancers of the breast, skin, stomach, brain and ovaries in addition to leukaemia and Hodgkinsons lymphoma.

Representatives of the mobile phone industry have challenged Dr Walker's research.
