LEAFLET HAD TWO ERRORS IN IT
11:00 - 23 February 2005
May I correct two errors in the Conservative leaflet distributed to Bath residents? In Lyncombe ward, the Liberal Democrat councillors have reacted most vigorously to local residents' concerns about the phone mast that mmO2 wished to erect at the Bear Flat.
First the council turned down the application and now the local councillors are helping the telecom company look for another site away from houses and schools.
We Bear Flat residents should feel pleased that our councillors have worked so hard for us on this matter. Of course this site should never have been recommended in the first place; the people to blame for this are the planning department officers who disregarded Government guidelines and the wishes of local people.
The second mistake in the leaflet is that it states there is no evidence of any ill effects from phone masts. There have been several scientific studies that have shown ill effects. The Government-funded Stewart report concludes that it is not possible to say that exposure to RF radiation is totally without adverse health effects and goes on to recommend that a precautionary approach should be adopted.
I hope that any further leaflets put out by the Conservative party will have these errors corrected.
