Joyous news from West Berkshire ! Their Planning Committee has refused Vodafone’s application to install an 11 metre mast in Dark Lane.

Having fought off two previous attempts by Vodafone to install even higher masts along Lower Elmstone Drive I was approached by residents in West Berkshire about this application last month. I (with some help from Lib Dem colleagues) knocked on doors in the area and encouraged residents to respond to the initial ‘consultation’ and then organised a petition when the application was finally tabled.

This is another brilliant result for local residents who do not want intrusive telephone masts in residential areas. Well done to all concerned.

This is the third mast I have had to campaign against, I am probably one of Vodafones least liked customers!
