No2o2 is a campaign group against the installation of a mobile phone mast, sited on a busy school crossing, in Crewe, Cheshire, England, by telecommunications giant O2. On the 24th July 2009, despite strong objection from local residents and Councilors planning approval was granted by Cheshire East Council. For the latest updates and news, please visit www.no2o2.co.uk.
The masts location is a predominantly residential and family area, with a number of schools and nurseries in an extremely close proximity. Cheshire East Council ignored residents, and rode roughshod over health and safety concerns. A total of 7 schools and nurseries fall within 500 meters of the mast site. These include:
Wistaston Green Nursery and Primary Schools (150 meters)
St Mary's Nursery and Primary School (255 meters)
St Thomas More High School (255 meters)
Vine Tree Primary and Nursery Schools (490 meters)
Due to the close proximity, these schools and nurseries will fall under the mast most intensive radiation (beam of greatest intensity). Collective attendance is over 2000 children.
As Government sponsored research has proved, with the frequencies used in mobile phone technology, children absorb more energy per kilogram of body weight from an external electromagnetic field than adults. A one year old could absorb around double and a five year old around 60% more than an adult. Additionally, since children are being exposed to RF radiation from base stations from a younger age than adults, they will have a longer time in which to accumulate exposure over the course of their lives, and a longer time for any delayed effects of exposure to develop.
Therefore, our grounds for fighting this are to try and protect the health, safety and well being of the next generation - those that are too young to protest themselves in addition to the large number of residents in the swathe of housing situated in close proximity to the site. We believe the correct consultation process has not been followed in the application stage, in particular with the schools and that valid concerns over health and safety affects and the Masts appearance have been conveniently ignored.
We are not against Mobile Telecommunications technology per se; however, we do strongly believe that Masts should not be situated in predominantly residential areas and most certainly not with the strongest beam of radiation falling on vulnerable nursery and school children. Please support our campaign against this unjust, undemocratic, negligent and arrogant decision by Cheshire East Council, who have put commercial interest over-whelming above general public well being. Say No2o2.
To raise awareness of our campaign we have produced 'No Mast Here'.
Lylics:
Have you seen it wrote on the wall?
By children's crossing, that say's it all
Jascasta tells of, troubles and fears
Radiation, round our ears
The message is load and it is clear
From our loved ones, near and dear
All together, we shall cheer
see the writing, NO MAST HERE
Have you seen it, wrote on the wall
By children's crossing, it says it all
The planning department don't give a damn
When microwave oven doors start to slam
Health and safety is not our concern
the issue is what will O2 earn
All together, we shall cheer
see the writing, NO MAST HERE
