A proposal to increase the size of the phone mast on The Avenue, near the university, has been withdrawn.

Vodaphone had hope to near double the height of their existing mast so that it would protrude beyond the tree line. Wet leaves damp the signal of the current mast within the canopy.

Well organised Beech Avenue residents were able to send enough letters of objection, plus a letter against from Bath University, to persuade the phone company to drop the application. Local residents will be vigilant for any further planning applications.
