 Over 200 residents turned out for an earlier protest |
A protest is being held in South Yorkshire over plans for a mobile phone mast in Sheffield. More than 200 people are expected to turn up for the demonstration in the Fulwood district on Saturday.
An application for planning permission for the mast is to be discussed at Sheffield City Council on Monday.
But residents claim the 37ft high mast proposed on land at the junction of Brooklands Avenue and Brookhouse Hill would ruin the area.
Government guidelines
In May concerned residents from Slaleigh Lane and Hallam Grange Crescent in Fulwood, held another protest to stop workmen installing a telephone mast close to homes and a school.
The city council had granted permission for the 10m high mast which is designed to provide coverage for video phones.
A spokesman for Sheffield City Council said: "The council follows national government guidance when considering concerns over the safety of telecommunications masts and decisions are consistent with that guidance."
