A broadband company has been temporarily suspended from erecting new telecoms masts in Oldham because of ‘unsafe practices’. IX Wireless has caused controversy among local residents, who have staged protests against the numerous ‘ugly’ masts, which they have described as ‘monstrosities’ and ‘eyesores’.
The spokesperson said: “We have told IX Wireless to stop work across the borough following safety concerns. We are temporarily suspending issuing new highways permits to the firm until officers are satisfied safe working practices have been in place. Other councils have already taken this step. The ban comes after a heated period of local protest. Police were recently called to Foxdenton Lane, where a Chadderton resident sat in a hole in the ground where a new telecommunications mast was due to be installed.
“We have been calling for checks like this to take place for a long time now and have been working with different levels of government to see change to the National Planning Policy Framework and to find better ways to improve local connectivity – ways which greatly minimise current disruption.” Turner said: “We were all relieved that the works were suspended. But now we are quite worried about the suspension because we think it’s just going to be a period of two weeks. We need them suspended for longer, so we have time to change things in parliament.”
