Mobile phone giant O2 wants to put up a new mast in Pagham across the road from a popular playgroup meeting place. The firm has issued notification that it intends to install the structure, believed to be 15 metres high, a similar distance across Nyetimber Lane from the Pagham Church Centre.

This is used five mornings and two afternoons a week by 65 children in Pagham Playgroup. It also hosts sessions of the Brownies, Guides, Rainbows as well as a mother and toddler group.

Two masts are already sited nearby on the football club and cricket club grounds.

This is one of three local campaigns against 02. The other two areas, Avisford Park (near me), and West Park, have joined together to fight 02 on three fronts. Other areas of Bognor Regis are helping, too.

Pagham and West Park proposed sites are only 1 mile away on opposite sides from Avisford Park. West Park has been blitzed for the past eighteen months.

The petition total has now passed the 500 mark with many more to come in.

Viva the people and people power!
