Opposed: Spring Park residents protest against the mast
Spring Park residents are protesting against a mobile phone mast to be built on a Grade II listed church.
According to the secretary of Spring Park Residents' Association (SPRA), Marzia Nicodemi-Ehikioya, the group has received more than 600 letters against the application to place a mast on the bell tower of All Saints' Church in Bridle Road.
Resident Brintha Patel said she was concerned the mast represented a possible health risk for those living in the area.
She said: "I'm concerned about the health issues, we don't know enough about the possible effects, that's the problem."
A spokesman for QS4, the company behind the application, said residents' concerns would be taken into account, but the application was fully compliant with guidelines.
