Residents protest against 'cynical' communications firm which has erected hundreds of masts without having to get planning permission

Hundreds of angry residents and politicians took part at a protest against communications firm IX Wireless which is erecting hundreds of masts across the north west under 'permitted development' rules.

Elaine, who is registered disabled, said: "I went to work and when I came back, there's the pole. My family has been in this house since 1922 and before this we've always had an undisturbed view down the road, and now I've got a flaming pole. I know it's only a wooden pole but it's frightening. It's right outside my bedroom."

Campaigners have launched a petition to force a debate in Parliament to consider amending 2015 legislation which paved the way for 'permitted development' which allows certain buildings and fixtures to be erected without formal planning approval. However, she said residents already had a 'perfectly good connection' to the internet and that they 'don't want this'.
