THE MOBILE PHONE MAST SAGA IS BACK

Last week I received a letter from 02 informing me of their proposal to install a mobile phone mast for 02 and Vodafone networks at a new location on Fenner Road (which is you may note is not too far away from their rejected application).

They have also proposed to re-site another mast off Clockhouse Lane (also just a few yards away from their previous proposal)

I have responded to the letter asking for their comments about:

1. The previous Planning Committee decision – when 02 agreed to examine alternative sites to address the issue of:
• Street scenes
• Proximity to residential properties
• Proximity to Primary School and childcare facilities


2.The lack of response to residents concerns – no reference was made to the 1000-strong petition submitted

3. Alternate sites - No comments were made about the suggestion in the Planning Committee to locate the masts on existing electric pylons

4. New location – which seems to have a complete disregard for the use of the Footpath/cycle route

I have called on 02 to advice me how you plan to address these concerns and further called for a full public consultation about their plans.

If you have any comments about this please contact me via:
- Email - tojetola@thurrock.gov.uk
- Phone - 07795644355


Thank you to all the residents who have called and emailed about this already.
