The installation of the optical fiber network through the sewage system will allow a greater cover of the apparatuses of mobile telephony with no need to install telephony antennas, a question that the ocal rejection causes and is subject to the obtaining of license. Specially in different zones from the historical centre, several companies of mobile telephony have problems of cover indeed by the difficulty to install antennas.

YOUTHS have been making their way onto the roof of a controversial mobile phone site in Barnes because of the permanent ladder in place, according to residents.

Homeowners at Carmichael Court objected in April to phone company O2 over three new masts which were erected on top of the building. It was claimed that the masts were unsightly, a health risk and unsafe due to the structure.

Now it is said that the ladder in place on the side of the building is enabling youngsters to climb up onto the roof.

One resident, Megan Murning, said: "We said all along that the safety of the equipment would enable people to get up and down easily as there is a ladder, which they are. This has all been quite painstaking to try and find out where we stand but we have been told by our lawyer that if the directors have agreed to the masts then we don't have a leg to stand on.

"But we are still moving forward, we want them to remove these things and we want to find out what our rights are."

O2 representative Jim Stevenson, said: "The ladder should have been locked over which stops anyone from using it. I will check that. It should not be happening. We have not been advised of this."

COUNCILLORS are to seek further health and environmental assurances on a controversial 10-metre mobile phone mast earmarked for a South Derbyshire village.

Mobile phone giant Orange is planning to erect the mast and equipment cabin on a grass verge in Egginton Road, Etwall, within 150 yards of a residential street.

As reported last month in the Mail, villagers have raised a series of health concerns over the mast, also questioning its intrusive appearance and the need for extra coverage in an area they claim already has excellent mobile phone signals.

Although fears about health risks are not grounds on which a proposal for a mast can be refused, South Derbyshire District Council’s development control committee agreed to ask Orange for more details over the siting and appearance of the structure.

Councillor Frank Hood, who represents the Etwall ward, said: "I wasn’t particularly happy with the siting of this and would be happier if it was moved.

"I don’t think it’s in a very safe position, particularly as the report says it is rather near Little Jack Horner’s Day Nursery, and I would have thought there would be better sites for it."

While Councillor Bob Southern raised his worries about the mast’s 'overpowering' effect on residents, council leader Barrie Whyman said he was frustrated that another mast was proposed in an area that currently enjoyed good reception.

In its application, Orange says the level of radio frequencies the mast will emit are within EU guidelines, and the company points out that the structure will be only 2.5 metres higher than neighbouring lamp posts in the street.

The company also stresses the need for a mast to fill in a gap in a signal to meet the latest 3G video phone technology near to the A50 road.

The district council is currently in the process of drawing up a set of guidelines to represent the views of residents about mobile telephone mast applications.

As yet, the document is still in draft form, but it is expected to include location preferences for new masts — for example not too near any school.

Residents' Association chairman Bill Marrow, 65, said: "Every time I pick up a headache these days I'm worried I could be the next person to be struck down.

"We're a very close-knit community here and it's our friends and family who keep falling victim to the disease at an alarming rate."

Neighbour Reg Blakemore, 77, who is currently nursing his wife Monica back to health after she fell victim to cancer, said: "We love it here. It's been a fantastic place to retire to but we're so worried that our health is suffering with each passing day. I fear that one day someone will come along and tell us we were right about this all along."

Eileen O'Connor of Seriously Concerned Residents Against Masts (SCRAM) says the Liscard House curse reflects a growing trend.

She said: "Every piece of research undertaken shows that at buildings where many masts are present there is always a cancer cluster within 400 yards. This case follows a survey in Birmingham where a number of residents in high-rise flats were suffering serious illnesses."

Duncan McGraw, community liaison officer for Orange, said last night the telecommunications company would do everything possible to work with the PCT during its investigation.

He said: "The radiation coming from the mast is well below the guidelines from ICNARP (the International Commission of Neon Ironising Radiation). But we will do everything possible to allay the residents' concerns.."

Vodafone was unavailable for comment last night.

Supreme Court Petition filed

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CITIZEN GROUP ASKS U.S. SUPREME COURT TO ORDER THE FCC TO STUDY HEALTH EFFECTS OF BROADCAST TV, RADIO AND CELL TOWERS EMISSIONS

Washington, D.C., May 10, 2005 -- EMR Network, a nationwide advocacy group of citizens and professionals concerned with the environmental impact of radiofrequency (RF) radiation, today filed a petition in the United States Supreme Court asking the Court to order the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to research the impact on human health of continuous low-power ultra-high frequency wireless transmissions.

The group’s petition for certiorari asks the high court to overturn an FCC order and Court of Appeals decision refusing to gather information and thoroughly investigate the consequences of 24/7 exposure to signals from TV/Radio broadcast facilities and cell towers that power 180 million mobile phones across the country.

Current FCC RF exposure limits make no distinction between children, the elderly, or the ailing among the general population.

Whitney North Seymour, Jr. is providing legal counsel for this appeal pro bono. His legal career has included private practice, a term as federal prosecutor for New York, and public interest work with a particular interest in environmental law, having co-founded the Natural Resources Defense Council in 1969. He also served as a senator in the New York State Assembly. The EMR Policy Institute assisted in preparing the petition.

It is misleading nonsense to write that only heating effects from RF exposure have been established as a health risk. The peer-reviewed scientific literature is full of papers showing, often replicated, biological effects that are likely to have serious health consequences (e.g. heat-shock-protein cellular stress responses) occurring at levels far below those that cause heating. The current MTHR research programme is mainly funding further investigations in this area. The UK Government (in the "Maastricht Treaty" and "Our Common Future" and other papers) is pledged to apply a precautionary approach when the science suggests problems that are not yet proven; this is the case with TETRA. Plenty of concerning evidence about the biological effects of RF carriers modulated with low frequency pulsing has been published, some of it decades ago.
