HUNDREDS of townsfolk packed out an expert-led anti-Tetra mast meeting - but one Alcester man has launched his own campaign in support of the masts.

Cambridge University student Adam Bradley, 21, bombarded the town with posters in support of the masts and attended the meeting at Our Lady and St Joseph's Church Hall, Priory Road to put forward his views.

Adam, of Hertford Road, is studying maths and computer science at Pembroke College.

He said: "I received a leaflet through the door outlining the dangers of the Tetra masts from Alcester Community against Tetra (ACT) saying that it is untested.

"This is just untrue - it has been tested.

"I also went along to the exhibition and spoke to town councillor Nina Knapman and some of the ACT members."

On Tuesday, September 31, experts Dr Gerard Hyland, executive member of the International Institute of Biophysics in Neuss-Holzheim, Germany, and Ian Sharp, an independent scientist from Chichester, Sussex, both spoke at the meeting about Tetra masts, which was chaired by Lord Hertford.

Alcester residents formed ACT after the first planned Tetra mast was approved by Stratford Council and the group says 10 similar masts are likely to go up in the Arden planning area.

Councillor Nina Knapman, who is helping the action group, said: "The meeting was excellent - now we know we have the support, we can go forward.

"The next steps for us are to launch a website and get the information we have available to all residents of Alcester.

"If we do this, we're hoping to get the petition in the thousands of names rather than the hundreds and then pass this on to local government representatives and possibly on to Parliament."
