Egremont Phone Mast

Many regular readers will know that Leah, Karen and I opposed the application by Vodafone to install a mast on the junction of Trafalgar Road and King Street. I spoke to oppose the plans at the Planning Committee citing its closeness to a nursery as one of the many reasons why councillors should refuse the application. Unfortunately the application for the mast was passed at the Committee and the residents in that area of Egremont were stuck with another eyesore on their doorstep.

We have recently had news that ‘phone company O2 have now asked to share the mast with Vodafone, this will mean that they will replace the existing  mast with a new taller mast! We are strongly opposed to these plans and will continue to fight on resident’s behalf against increasing the height of this eyesore.

More Fly-tipping

Before Christmas, Lib-Dem Cabinet member Gill Gardner decided to impose a charge for collecting large items of rubbish from resident’s Homes.

At the time, I highlighted that imposing a charge for this service would have an adverse impact on fly-tipping in Wirral.

Today I visited a resident who – 4 months ago – reported fly tipping in his back alley. As of today the rubbish has not been collected.

I have reported the mess to streetscene, who are collecting the rubbish in the morning.
