Optarse Tower

Filed under: Local — danny at 8:34 pm on Thursday, May 18, 2006

Our neighbour told us yesterday that he had received a letter from Optarse outlining the construction of a new mobile phone tower at the BP opposite our house. In addition to the one that’s already there. This one will stand tall and proud, irradiating the passers-by on that busy road.

Why is this a problem, apart from the fact that it’s yet another radiation emitter? Optarse failed to send us a letter letting us know about this, and, typical of these project proposals, the time for objection had already passed by the time we found out about it. April 27 was the last day to object. That was 3 weeks ago. We found out yesterday. Great.

Shows Optarse’s concern for the community. And far be it for the owners of BP to complain - they don’t live there. Plus they can charge Optarse insane amounts for not one but two telecommunications towers that bask its property (and the families around it) in its healthy glow.

Living so close to a petrol station that has trouble with fume escape when refilling its copious tanks, plus the presence of 2 mobile phone towers, must be so conducive towards good health. Plus the thousands of cars that jam on that busy road every day. I can see the house price rising already.

At least you’ll have incredibly good reception! ;)
