Farnham Phone Mast Protest
From Karen
FYI
Subject: Farnham Phone Mast Protest TODAY
THE BOURNE VILLAGE INFANT SCHOOL - ORANGE MAST @ 50m (Farnham, Surrey)
The School and local community successfully opposed a BTCellnet/ O2 Mast on the same site over a year long Campaign 2001/2 (Protests, petitions, media coverage)To their credit O2 acknowledged the sensitivity of this site ( ie 200 x 4-7yr olds ) and withdrew.
ORANGE now intend to place a Mast on exactly the same site. They are aware of proximity to school and of previous campaign, but intend to proceed regardless.
UNTIL SAFETY FROM RADIATION CAN BE PROVEN OUR CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE USED AS EXPERIMENTAL GUINEA PIGS.
Government Guidelines recommend that Masts should not be sited near Schools.*
The local community is in shock, but actively determined to protect yet again the ONLY School in our Village.
Tomorrow, Tues. 26th April Orange are holding a "Public Consultation" @ The Bush Hotel, Farnham. School children, in uniform, and those from nearby Nurseries will gather "en masse" to protest @ 4PM.
We will hand over a letter requesting that Orange consult with the school (which they have NOT done) to comply with PPG8, and their own Code of Commitment.
NB Orange are as yet unaware of this protest. Please help us publicise this event.Your support was invaluable last time.
