Cinnamon Restaurant Radio Mast

Last year we collected signatures on a petition to object to a proposed telephone mast on the Swan Pub in Pelsall. Clive took the petition to the solicitors in Birmingham and we were told that the application had been dropped. A few weeks ago the newly converted Cinnamon Restaurant had scaffolding erected on the roof and a mast was erected then covered by a false chimney.

This caused much concern amongst local residents who rang all three councillors to ask what was happening. The restaurant owner was worried about the effect of the objections on his trade and he phoned Clive and asked for his help to sort out the problem.

Clive initially thought that the landlords had arranged this without the restaurant owners knowledge, but we now know having spoken to the Pub Chain who own the building and T Mobile that the restaurant owner did know about it and he agreed to it.

T Mobile have agreed to suspend connection of this mast until other sites have been explored and the situation with local residents resolved. We have had several conversations with the pub chain who own the building and they are keen to resolve the situation amicably with the residents.
