Phone mast protest

26 May 2006

Staff, pupils and parents at Branfil In fant and Junior School protest over the planned phone mast

PUPILS, parents and teachers of an Upminster infant and junior school have said "no" to plans by mobile phone giant O2 to erect a mast nearby.

The telecommunications company has applied to site a phone mast on the corner of Little Gaynes Lane and Gaynes Park Road only yards from Branfil Infant and Junior School.

The application is due to be heard by Havering Council before the end of the month and last week a protest was held by those opposed to the mast outside the school gates.
