Telephone masts - Hilton Street

Residents of Ladysmith Avenue and Hilton Street have recently been informed that Vodaphone want to put 3 extra masts and a cabin on the top of the BT Exchange in Hilton Street. This is what is known as a pre planning application - in other words Highams who are acting for Vodaphone want to gauge reaction to the scheme before taking it to the Planning Committee

Needless to say this announcement has caused a furore among local residents mainly because there are already lots of masts on the top of this building and adding more will make it look even more unsightly

In view of the above I have asked Highams to tell me how many other sites have been considered and why they have selected the BT Exchange as there preferred option
