O2 MOBILE PHONE OPERATOR

That this House condemns the mobile phone operator O2 for its intransigence surrounding the siting of a phone mast on Woodgreen Drive in Worcester; fails to understand why it chose this site when alternatives with better coverage are available; is deeply worried by the complete lack of public consultation surrounding this decision and the implications this has for the mobile phone operators' own code of conduct and how other constituencies may be affected; further condemns O2 for producing misleading diagrams used by the local planning authority when making their adjudication and warns other local authorities to watch out for such practices; believes that O2 operates in an arrogant and high-handed manner when dealing with members of the public and honourable Members; and calls upon O2 to share existing masts covering the Warndon Villages area of Worcester and abandon plans to erect a mast on Woodgreen Drive, so that local people are free from the blight of mobile phone masts so close to residential properties.
