Huge 'emergency' phone mast still there more than two and a half years later

People living in streets in South Bristol who discovered a huge ‘emergency’ phone mast being erected without warning back in 2020 are complaining it is still there, more than two and a half years later.

Residents of a couple of streets in Ashton have called on city council planners to sort out the situation, with no decision yet made on a planning application to make it allow it to stay, or on enforcement action to remove it.

In fact, the mobile phone company who erected the mast asked for permission for it to stay up for another 12 months more than 12 months ago - so have achieved their goal because council planners are yet to even decide on the issue.
