Vodaphone are seeking to replace their phone mast on The Avenue with a larger model. They are consulting about replacing the 13.4m mast, installed in 2006, with a 17.5m mast carrying more equipment.

Bath University Estates have responded to the consultation objecting to the proposal, pointing out that the existing phone masts on top of their Norwood House could be used for the Vodaphone service.

Liberal Democrat councillor David Martin will also be sending a robust reply in response to this proposal.
