Telephone mast is obtrusive
There's a planning proposal for a new telephone mast at Tower Hill and we've circulated some 600 local homes with leaflets asking for their comments. We will forward these comments to the planning department when we receive them.
The proposal is for a 10m mast with a "shroud and equipment cabinet".
I believe it can be stopped on planning grounds and have already expressed some views to the planning department. Tower Hill is simply too cluttered already - it has one mast with a large grey box that is the base station along with a recycling centre.
The council has just spent a fortune improving the area for pedestrians with new crossings, bus lanes and bus stops. Having revived the shopping centre here, it now needs to concentrate on making it a pleasant environment. A forest of masts does not achieve that.
I'm assuming there will be little support for this proposal. There was a great deal of opposition to the first one. And when it comes to issues of appearance, local people are more than entitled to their views. So let's hear some good arguments from local people!

This sounds like the one by the pedestrian lights on the Queslette at the bottom of Sundial Lane.This one was turned down by Sandwell only to have an appeal upheld by the planning inspector. Just like the arcade at the Scott Arms!!The arcade is going to contribute to Scott Arms shopping centre -allegedly!
