I MUST agree with Ms R A Jones: the the junction of Melrosegate and Tang Hall Lane is a crazy place for a mobile phone mast (Letters, February 16).

This is a highly populated residential area, when there may be problems with radiation from the antenna.

There is the problem of houses around the area losing their value, especially as there are several at present trying to sell.

I have been to see the plans at the council offices which have shown that it will be an eyesore, with the mast being much higher than any of the properties around it.
