The County Council has failed to notify a telecoms company that their application for a mobile phone mast in the middle of Newton Hall had been turned down, meaning the company can go ahead with its plans.

The Labour – run County Council has made a right mess of this one. Once the applcation was turned down they had 56 days to notify the company but failed to do so. Dozens of residents and the local Lib Dem councillors objected to the plan and were successful but then the Council kicked everyone in the teeth by failing to deal with this properly.
Lib Dem County Councillors Mamie Simmons and Amanda Hopgood are meeting this week with the company to try and get a compromise on this issue and sort out the Councils failure. Good luck.
