Furious residents have hit out after an enormous 6G mast was installed near their homes - branding it a ‘monstrosity’ and raising concerns about the levels of radiation it might emit. The towering 15m metal structure has been installed at Lymm Walk, in Cheadle, much to the shock and anger of people living in the quiet residential area, many of whom are retired.
Its appearance has also come as a surprise to Stockport council which has written to the telecommunications firm responsible - IX Wireless - demanding answers to its ‘precise’ purpose as well as further ‘plans and details’. A notice stuck to the base of the ‘fibre pole’ says it is for the purposes of IX Wireless network. It adds that residents have a right to object if ‘the enjoyment of that neighbouring land is capable of being prejudiced by the apparatus’ or ‘any interest in the land is capable of being compromised’.
The Blackburn based company's website boasts that it is is 'managing the 6G internet in towns in the north of England, providing gigabit internet at lower prices than providers such as Virgin and BT'. But people living at Lymm Walk, which is just off Tarvin Road, are furious they were not consulted before it went up - and want the mast moved elsewhere.
