This is Kidderminster

ANGRY residents battling plans to put three mobile phone masts on the same Kidderminster site say the area is in danger of becoming a "dumping ground" for masts.

A 12 metre monopole has already been put up on the Charlie Brown site in Stourport Road, shocking many neighbouring householders, who had not realised planning permission had been granted when it appeared.

They were horrified to discover - just days later - that two separate applications had been submitted to Wyre Forest District Council to build another two masts on the same land.

One of the proposals, for a 15 metre Hutchinson 3G mast, will be discussed at the district council's planning and environmental control committee meeting on Tuesday and residents are desperately trying to make their fears known in the meantime.

Stourport Road resident, Anita Gallagher, whose husband, Tony, will address councillors to explain the opposition to the plan, said householders had formed a group called Communities Against Mobile Masts and filled their windows with posters saying "Say No To Masts".
