A plan to erect a mobile phone mast within the grounds of a Shropshire football club has been rejected.

Telecommunications company O2 wanted to move the existing floodlight column at the Crown Meadow ground in Bridgnorth and replace it with a mast.

The proposals met with opposition from many local people, including governors of the nearby St John's Primary School.

Bridgnorth District Council also rejected a plan by Vodafone to put up a mast on Mill Street, close to the A442.
