The application from CK Hutchinson, aka Three, has been withdrawn
Protesters have won their battle to prevent a mobile phone mast being installed next to a children’s playground in Blackpool.
It had wanted to install the mast, along with base units, on the pavement next to a play area and sports area in Claremont Park, near the junction with Cromwell Road. Ward councillors Lynn Williams and Ivan Taylor, along with heritage chiefs, were among those who had opposed the application.Coun Williams said: “Coun Taylor and I were concerned about the siting of this mast, on a narrow pavement immediately adjacent to our park and children’s play area.
They added: “My mother lives on Claremont Road and has done for the last 30 years. My grandchildren play on that park so on their behalf I am opposing this 5g mast.”
