Well, having been forced to withdraw their previous planning application for a telephone mast in Lower Elmstone Drive in April 2009, Vodafone are back with a new proposal. This time they want to site the mast over the road on the opposite side of Lower Elmstone Drive where ther are no traffic issues as there were on the previous site on the corner of Elmstone Drive. The new mast is 15 metres high, even taller than the original proposal, and slightly further away from houses. It will still represent a huge eyesore that is most definitely not wanted in Tilehurst.

I will keep you updated on the campaign as it unfolds. A plan of the site is shown here                                   

You can send any comments you have on the plan to Vodafone’s agent: robert.baker@monoconsultants.com
