5g Mast planning refused

Al87 — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 16:04:52 GMT

We seem to be in a borough of Greater Manchester which thinks its OK to keep refusing 5G masts from three.

The mast would have been on a main road, it would not have spoilt anyone's view and would have provided access which we desperately need here.

if you look on the three coverage map, you can see our borough isn't covered very well, but other boroughs around us have excellent coverage.

Is this something OFCOM can help with? Can they over rule our stupid council?

Stand for election on a "bring us 5g" platform.

I agree as council always refused 5G mast but accepted 4G mast in a strange way!

No doubt you have some NIMBY's on your local council or within the planning team.

Unfortunately Ofcom cannot do anything about this, the government really needs to step in and stop people who claim '5G is going to kill us all' without any proof, from preventing desperately needed infrastructure upgrades.

Hopefully Three will look at the reasons it's been declined and look for an alternative/suitable site but it's not going to be fast.
