LIBERAL GROUP Wyre Forest District Council

Mast application withdrawn...

Local Greenhill Liberal District Councillor Rachel Lewis said today that she is "absolutely delighted that the planning applkication for a 12.5 metre higth phone mast on the pavement by the Texaco Garage near the Bruce Road junction on Kidderminster's Birmingham Road has been withdrawn by the applicants."

Cllr Lewis, who organised a petition against the site, said "there was very intense local public opposition to this particular proposal. A mast there would have been very visually intrusive and possibly distracting for drivers not to mention fears about the health aspects of such a siting close to many homes in a residential area of the town."

"I am absolutely delighted that the proposal was withdrawn and I hope that in future companies will seek less intrusive and controversial sites fot their masts".
