In our area the company that owns the 3 network are trying to get permission from the LA planning dept to install Very high masts to overcome it seems the poor signal strength of the 5g. network ,and the areas they want to install these monsters,are not considered by the company just hoping it seems there will be nil or little opposition ,

So be warned as the applications and letters to local residents are very few ,it is only by word of mouth from neighbours,that they are coming to light,

One application near us was very near a primary school

Another was in a conservation area ,and was onl picked up by the local history society,

A reason I no longer drive at night after my last visit to the optician

What is not just the TV pictures, you need to expand on that if you want an answer JV🤷🏻‍♂️

Speaking as one who has happily enjoyed a TV signal from two of the highest structures in England, namely Emley Moor and Holme Moss, then progress needs to continue. I am sure windmills were possible considered witchcraft, child killers, disease spreaders back in the 1300’s by some. But the vast amount of folks just needed the flour to survive.

I came across a huge project happening near where we live, quite by accident the other day. Part of the TPT near Dunford Bridge has been diverted, must have cost thousands to do. Reason? National Grid are at last taking down the unsightly pylons and everything is going underground. Progress.

Will the unsightly pylons be replaced with 5g masts

In a similar vein, I have fibre to the house and because KCOM will not share the roads underground ducting, a rival firm 'MS3 network' is going to dig up a whole length of unblemished pavement to lay cables and no planning permission is needed other than to reinstate to council regulations. So we will have a dark tarmacked trench width down an unblemished grey pavement.

Other streets are even worse where underground ducting won't be shared, another fibre firm are installing 5 metre poles and will overhead cable to residents if they wish to change supplier, a backward step, again no planning permission needed.

I know which area you live 😉. It’s the same for us although I don’t have fibre. Have to say, MS3 are pretty quick with their installations - dig trench, insert and repair trench, job done. Wonder if their internet provision will be as efficient?

I have no idea. But as Holme Moss sits over the valley, I suspect that might be aiding communications🤔

HM has been there decades, it’s how Yorkshire gets its TV signal. I am sure the Luddites of the day moaned about it, left druidical offerings to ward off evil spirits, children will not have been allowed within half a mile of it, and farmers will have been compensated for dead lambs, but nowadays it’s a favourite picnic spot, rest spot after a huge cycle climb and all round good viewing platform. Time has eroded its mythical status, and the Luddites of yester-decade are now house bound and glued to Emmerdale🤷‍♀️
