Witney residents are objecting to plans for a new mobile phone mast.

Contractor Compro is applying for permission to install a 12.5-metre high mast near to the edge of the town, in Burford Road.

The site is about a quarter of a mile from another phone mast, for a different company, on land at Early's blanket factory buildings.

Jonathan Glithero, of Burford Road, said: "It is too near the road and people's houses. I will be objecting and I am sure others will, too."

The application is likely to come before West Oxfordshire District Council's lowlands planning sub-committee on February 19.
