Residents oppose plans for 'overbearing' 5G mast on pretty village green

Residents have voiced their opposition to a 15-metre 5G mast being erected on a village green in Swansea. The plans would see the mast go up on a street corner at the edge of a green space in Derwen Fawr.

The plans have been criticised by some residents including Anthony James, who said: "The neighbourhood has joined together to protest about this 15-metre 5G mast being erected on the edge of our outdoor space designated as a village green, used regularly by local residents and their children.

"These are completely residential streets which already have fibre broadband compatibility and this overbearing mast will tower over the trees and be a blight on several houses and raise safety issues on a narrow junction."
