Phone mast nightmare
Sep 9 2005

Exclusive By Liza Williams, Chester Chronicle
THREE young children could end up sleeping just two metres away from a mobile phone mast.
A proposed mast for the Orange network at Olympus House in Tattenhall would be directly adjacent to bedrooms at The Mount, Kath Jameson's home, where her nine-year-old twins and seven-year-old son sleep.
Kath said: 'I am so worried - we can't let this mast be erected. It is one thing knowing masts are close to where you work, or are in the village, but having them just two metres away from your childrens' bedrooms is quite another matter.'
Many other residents are also concerned about the mast.
Mike Kennerley, who lives on the high street, said: 'The specific location is problematic. There is so much space in this area where the mast could have gone, and it is worrying that it is proposed so close to houses.
'There should have been more consultation on the site, with the parish council for instance, and then this trouble could have been avoided.'
Anthony Barbour, managing director of The Bolesworth Estate, who own the site, defended the decision.
He said: 'It is our understanding that the proposal is for a microcell-based station. These operate at a very low power and are used to improve networks, especially where the volume of calls is high, as it is in the village.
'On order to allay any fears, we have requested that Orange arrange a drop-in session for residents, where they will be able to answer any questions.'
A spokesman for Orange stressed that the proposal meets all health and safety guidelines: 'We have made the design as sympathetic as possible - it has a single antenna and is covered so it cannot be seen.'
Kath said: 'I realise the Government states there is no health risk , but no one will really know for many years how safe such radiation is.'
Omega such radioation is not safe and this needs no years to say this. See under:

Residents have until September 24 to object.
