Phone
mast could be moved onto Burnham-On-Sea seafront
Plans
to move a phone mast in Burnham-On-Sea onto the town's seafront
were unveiled this week.
 O2
is under pressure to move the mast on Marine Drive, pictured right,
to a new location, and has submitted a pre-planning enquiry in
which it asks to move it to the Marine Rescue Centre on the seafront.
Town
clerk Eileen Shaw said: "The phone mast would take the place
of the existing one in Marine Drive, whose validity has expired.
An enforcement order has been issued on O2 to get it moved."
The
pre-planning enquiry was discussed at Monday's town council meeting
- where no strong objections were heard from councillors.
The
proposal has the backing of Burnham's Coastguard and BARB, the
two groups based at the Marine Rescue Centre.
The
proposal follows concern last summer about poor quality phone
signals hampering sea emergencies in the area.
