Don't mess with mums

At last, people are understanding that there just might be a health issue involved...especially regarding our children and grandchildren.

And, let's face it, we just can't take that risk can we?

Your readers will probably know that a handful of local people have been campaigning for several years against mobile (and police Tetra) masts being placed close to homes or schools.

And to be honest, they (we!) seem to have been regarded as bit of a lunatic fringe!

However, when the highly controversial police communication (Tetra) mast was about to be erected at High Salvington (i.e. just above The Vale school) I wrote to the school, and the local residents' association, and warned them about what was being proposed.

I even advised them regarding what action to take.

Guess what? I didn't even receive an acknowledgement!

So what is the result?

The Tetra mast now sitting on the western skyline of Findon Valley, with The Vale school just a few hundred metres away, is potentially far more harmful than the third generation mobile phone mast being proposed for the valley.

I have to ask....just what does it take to get people motivated?

I think I know the answer. If it is "mums" getting agitated then it must be important.

If it is just concerned people (or, in my case, a concerned dad or grandad!)., then one seems to be classed as "eccentric".

Food for thought?
