If all of the 5000 people that objected to these masts got rid of there mobile phones I think that there would be no need for these masts being put in the village.......Its the old story of not on my door step.....

   Like most other people, I don't want a mast near me, but the obvious question has to be asked. Why do we need them? Perhaps if the residents who don't want the masts were to cancel their contracts and return their 'phones, stating the reason, then, maybe, the companies would sit up and take notice. Although from my experience, a lot of people would rather lose their first born than do this. And before you ask, I don't have one. J Pollitt.

   well said lucy.. i was on the fight against the paddenbrook mast, which we won, they will try any where to get these damn masts up ! we need to fight this together and beat the phone companies who dont give a damn about residents or their health and concerns, its all about money !

   I moved to Romiley with my young family in July 2005, after paying a substantial amount of money to enjoy a quiet and peaceful existence in what is one of the few remaining semi-rural settings.

Is it not sufficiently appalling that the council has chosen to close down local schools?

How can they selectively justify condoning the proposed applications to site these hazardous monstrosities, by paying mere lip service to residents concerns for their well-being?

At what stage are the government going to demand that telecommunication companies share their network masts, thus reducing the need for such a constant bombardment of applications, which are clearly abhorred by Romiley and its neighbours?

Its about time that the council prioritised people over financial gain.
