BROWN EDGE TELECOMMUNICATIONS MAST

Early day motion 235, tabled 10 July 1997 by Joan Walley (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House believes that the time is now overdue for a review of planning guidance in respect of telecommunications masts; considers that in respect of every planning application, residents affected should have an opportunity to be informed and consulted; regrets that in respect of the Albany Developments proposal on behalf of Telecome Securicor Cellular Radio Ltd., near Tinster Wood, Brown Edge, local residents were not adequately informed; and therefore calls on the company to postpone the erection of the mast until residents have had the opportunity to express their views either directly to Staffordshire Moorlands Council or as set out in the Council's policy.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, Labour/Co-operative 2.
