A broadband company has been asked to remove some of its masts in Rochdale due to the 'unacceptable' impact on residents. The council has received complaints about IX Wireless poles around the borough, some of which have been put up in residential areas next to homes.
"Our leader, Councillor Neil Emmott, has written to Ofcom directly expressing his own concerns about IX’s approach. In addition, officers continue to liaise directly with Ofcom about the on-going situation." IX Wireless was launched in 2017 with the aim of providing internet connection to towns across the north west and beyond. The company said its masts are compliant with planning permission requirements and that it has engaged with councils during its work.
A spokesperson from IX Wireless said: “So far, we've installed a new fibre network infrastructure in seven towns and cities in the north west. The uptake we’ve seen clearly highlights the demand for a higher speed internet at a more affordable price in these areas. “We do understand that while many people have welcomed investment in the roll-out of a new digital infrastructure, some people are unhappy and where necessary we are happy to speak to residents who may feel a structure is causing an obstruction.
