A furious Edinburgh councillor in an upmarket neighbourhood is demanding that Vodafone reconsider their ‘ridiculous’ plans to create a giant 5G mobile phone mast in the area.
Councillor Mandy Watt is rallying local people and asking them to add to the 150 objections that already exist on the planning application for new mast at the traffic lights on Morningside Road, next to the old train station.
In a letter to Vodafone, Ms Watt, addressed local concerns and said that Morningside Station is the closest the area has to a town square and the proposed mast would obstruct the area’s iconic clock and their annual Christmas tree.
