=============================================
The No Masts in Southwell Campaign is always active. We are working with other communities to raise the profile of our campaigns and join together to get government to take action to protect our children and communities from potential dangers and health risks.
We are still fighting and working with our supporters like Patrick Mercer and Bruce Laughton to do everything we can to have the 02 phone mast on the Ropewalk relocated.
We are also working to prevent future applications for additions to the mast on the Ropewalk and also future applications to add more phone masts within the residential areas of our town.
Other communities are currently fighting multiple masts applications throughout there communities, so we are confident that our strong standing as a community against phone masts has made an impact.
If you would like to support, help or find out more about our campaign in anyway, please feel free to get in touch.

What our supporters are saying
"I congratulate these parents for their totally responsible attitude, our children are precious. I wish more parents would research the issue of technologies using pulsed microwave radiation and other things."
"This debate is not about "do we need masts", of course we all expect perfect coverage everywhere we go. This is about the mobile companies siting them away from schools and nurseries."
"Great to see an excellent debate on such a sensitive subject. Its obvious that some people, who have made comments in favour of mobile phone masts, do not understand parenthood or have grasped the actual facts that are available."
"Our feeling having undertaken a lot of research is that doubt in relation to children and the long term effects of exposure to mobile phone masts, still exists. "
"I think the work being done to oppose the mast being sited on the Ropewalk is fantastic and the response from local people is huge"
