Illegally-erected mast taken down
Mobile phone giant Vodafone is dismantling a mast it put up illegally in a Worcestershire village.

The company erected a cabin and a mast in Salwarpe last October without planning permission.

Villagers objected to the installation in a conservation area. Wychavon District Council gave Vodafone until Tuesday to take it all down.

A company spokesperson said the mast's generator was turned off last week so it was no longer operating.

They added that the mast and equipment would be dismantled by the end of the month.
