That's what I'm saying - no I wouldn't want one near me and yes I do (need to?) use a mobile - so maybe I am a hypocrite. However there are lots of other non-essential (OK sewage is fairly essential) things that we use and there are consequences - and most of us wouldn't want the consequences on our doorstep. I'd object to the construction of a petrol station next door, but I still want to use my car...
They are putting these masts wherever they like it seems - near my sister they sent everyone notification of one, everyone objected, and yet it still got put up. Also in other places the council forgot to respond to the phone companies appeals in the required time, so again up went the masts.
I'd advocate the use of a couple of 4x4s and some long rope - quicker than the angle grinder I am sure....
