YET again Coun Small repeats his claim that mobile phone masts may be the new Swindon Disease.
On what basis does he continue to use Swindon Borough Council as a platform for his ill-considered and unfounded allegations?
We have lived with radio masts, without ill-effect, for decades.
TV transmitters put out hundreds of times more power than mobile phone masts.
The World Health Organisation, our own government, the European Commission and hundreds of other organisations, independent and industry funded, continue to study the health issues associated with radiation from mobile phones.
They have all failed to identify any mechanism or repeat any findings reporting adverse health effects from radiation.
And it is this very aspect that Coun Small is playing on.
