The mast has been erected outside a furniture business and its owner says it is a 'monstrosity'.

By Tom Oakley and Emily AndersonA business owner has threatened to move out of a Nottinghamshire town after a "monstrosity" of a 5G mast has been put up outside his shop.Gary McGrath, co-director, said the "eyesore" pole could have a "detrimental" impact on his trade.Proposals were submitted to Broxtowe Borough Council by Cignal Infrastructure UK on behalf of the Three network in April.

"To put this monstrosity on a high street that's had millions spent to make it look a nice environment," said Mr McGrath."We rely on people to look in the shop window and my main concern is the fact that it's obstructing the view for people passing by.Mr McGrath said he had invested £50,000 on a renovation of the exterior of his business, which started in 1996 and has been in its current premises for more than a decade.
