Petition against phone mast

A LIBERAL Democrat councillor in Whickham, Gateshead, is opposing plans for a phone mast near to residents’ homes.

Mobile phone operator O2 want to put a 17.5 metre high mast on land next to Burnthouse Lane, within sight of a large number of houses.

“Residents have raised concerns about this application being close to houses,” said Councillor Marilynn Ord, who represents the area on Gateshead Council.

“So I have helped launch a petition which is being delivered to those houses most immediately affected.

“There are fears that people will end up living with an eyesore right on their doorsteps.”
