Residents kick off at phone mast that looks like a giant toilet brush

It's a phone mast that was supposed to be cleverly disguised to look like a tree. Sadly, though, residents living near to it have been left flushed with anger because they say it looks like a giant toilet brush.

The 25m tall mast, near Dundas Home Farm, South Queensferry, Scotland, was granted planning permission in June last year by council chiefs. But locals said attempts to hide the phone mast were "ineffective" as it stands more than double the height of the trees around it - and looks more like a loo brush. Some joked baubles and tinsel could be put on the tree at Christmas.

One said: “Oh dear it definitely looks nothing like a tree and very much like a gigantic toilet brush."
