A lot of public money is planned on being spent on telecommunications masts with a real risk of being outdated. Their potential detrimental impact on several green spaces in North Swindon are a cause for concern, furthermore many residents have complained they simply do not not want or need this service. Furthermore they were not consulted and have concerns on effects of the apparatus on health. Please sign if you would like the council to cancel or substantially amend this decision.

The momentum behind this campaign is picking up serious speed. Call your local council representative today to demand a halt to the installation of these monopoles near our schools and homes.

The implementation of this project is not something the community has asked for or support. Masts will be a public eyesore and there are better solutions for developed areas. This scheme has to be stopped and money diverted to a more appropriate and technologically sound solution.
We have existing coverage, UKB are not using these masts and have not demonstrated the need for new ones. They are right up against homes and schools, and are totally out of keeping with the areas in which they are being put. They must be resited now.
Firstly, I feel this proposal aims to provide a service North Swindon neither wants nor needs. Secondly, the long term impact on childrens' health is still unknown and this should not be ignored. A Precautionary approach should be adopted which logically begins with the positioning of masts well away from school's and residential areas.
Future proof the area and install fibre properly please. This unwanted 4G solution will end up being a waste of money! 5G will be released in the near future, will SBC waste more money upgrading?!
This is an unecessary technological development in North Swindon which the public is against. There are more important telecommunications services required in North Swindon that can be installed completely out of sight which should already be present in North Swindon but is not. The implementation of these masts in this area is nothing more than a temporary solution and waste of resources for people who do not need it.
This scheme is lunacy and needs to be stopped.
This isn't a good decision for residents. I am from Old Town in Swindon and do not support the council's plans.

As Peter said we don't live in a rural area for which these maybe better suited or suit their needs more ... We live in a town and in 2015 'WE WANT FIBRE'
