A massive 5G mast has been put up in the middle of Whitchurch, and some residents are unhappy with the location and think it's an eyesore. The mast showed up overnight outside Peacocks on Merthyr Road in the early hours of Tuesday, September 13.
It stands at 20 metres, and some people have criticised it for dwarfing its surroundings and making Whitchurch look like "an ugly village." However, others have pointed out that it could provide significant improvements to the area's 5G coverage.
James, the owner of Cwtch Mindful Hair and Beauty opposite the mast's new location, said: "It’s horrific. It’s been put right across the road from an eco-salon and it’s the most atrocious thing. It's definitely not very in-keeping with the village; the height of it is very ominous-looking."
