Anger over new plan for 5G mast near war memorial just months after first bid thrown out

Plans have been lodged with a council for a second time to build a 5G mobile phone mast opposite a war memorial - months after councillors threw out an initial application.

The Manchester Evening News first revealed plans by a telecoms company for 'prior approval' for a 59ft-high mast on a wedge of ground just 15 yards from the war memorial at the junction of Church Lane and Higher Lane in Whitefield, Bury.
