A campaign has been launched against a new 5G mast in Edinburgh over fears that the 65ft structure will block views of the castle. Telecoms company CK Hutchison Networks have proposed building the structure on Johnston Terrace which is located near the iconic tourist attraction.
The application which was submitted in March has already attracted 71 objections on the Edinburgh City Council website. Consultations for the proposal are due to end at midnight on Friday April 7.
Locals have raised concerns that the location of the mast may deter tourists from visiting the area. Marc Wilkinson, 55, who is behind the campaign having lived in the capital for 35 years told Edinburgh Live: "The main thing that I am objecting about is the fact that no one seems to know about the application that was sent to the council."
