A SPATE of applications for locating telecommunication masts in Wyre Forest has sparked concern among district councillors.

Chairman of Wyre Forest District Council John Gordon has asked for backing in sending a message to the Government to underline public concern and to ask its intentions.

A motion due to go before a full council meeting last night pointed out the council was to consider applications for siting and appearance of masts that had permitted development rights because they were under 15 metres tall.
