Commenting on the human chain protest this Sunday over the controversial siting of a mobile phone mast at Albert Road, N22, Local councillor and Lib Dem Deputy leader, Cllr Wayne Hoban, said:

“The strength of this protest this morning shows that this mast is totally unacceptable. It is not surprising that local people are out in force, as they have legitimate concerns about the mast, and they have not been properly consulted. The lack of proper planning controls over schemes such as this is ludicrous.”
