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,

What is the problem with them?, they guarantee reception for all of us. Nimbyism is hurting everyone’s access to good communications🤷🏻‍♂️

Mmm, I can’t quite understand the problem with the mast being close to a primary school unless those strange folk were right and 5G really does spread the Corona virus🤔

😂😂, it’s a good thing-5g will soon be the norm. I think year 2020 created some howlers that’s for sure🙄. Bring it on, you can’t stop the future. . .Gladly.

It is not the masts that is objected to ,   it is that because big companies  as Hutchinson ,think they can put them up as and where they want without any thoughts of those ithey will effect the most.  ,luckily the local history society are now on the case ,and several  have had the application turned down with several others now gone to Central Government  on appeal, 

As for nymbyism ,it is a pity more people do not stand up to inappropriate planning applications,   then moan about what has happened  After it was approved 

 And with 5g having it seems a very small transmission area compared to older phone applications,there will be many more masts to compensate,

Just beware what you think on paper is a good system for some ,

Just a warning to those who have any  real thought of their local area what to expect as  it may come to outside your properties

It’s similar to those who fight masts to then turn around & decry bad signals. I welcome masts not fight them. I’m not one to cocoon this country in cotton wool. There’s plenty of space for everyone. Look forward not back. . .The clock moves forward never back👍🏻

There are thousands of people in rural areas who would welcome a mast to give them a signal, JV. 

5G is the new 4G which was once the new 3G which was…….etc

No money in putting any in rural areasundecided

But if you had read my posts ,I did say 5g has a smaller transmission range than previous systems ,which is the reason many more masts are needed,, hence the much higher proliferation needed for 5g surprised

Have you not heard of the Govt pledge to bring mobile comms to rural areas?

I did read your posts, otherwise I would not be responding.
