A woman said she "nearly had a heart attack" after coming home to find a huge 5G mast had appeared at the bottom of her garden "with no warning". Resident of the Rochdale cul-de-sac have been left "extremely disappointed" by the 65ft "rocket" pole that was put up after a council planning permission decision was overturned.
Homeowner Claire Brophy said she was not informed about the mast - which now sits within touching distance of back garden - before it was built. Another resident Amy Openshaw said: "It isn't nice to look at. When you're in the rooms at the top of the stairs, it is there, in your face.
"We literally went to work and came home and it was there. I'll probably tell more when all the leaves start dropping off, I'll see it a lot more then. There is a lot of open space where it could've gone, rather than literally there."
