FURTHER news from Vodafone: Simon Preedy reports that Vodafone are likely to submit an application for a mast on the Sainsbury's roundabout.

They are also looking to locate a mast close to Brighton Hill Community School, the catchment secondary school for this area.

Apparently, their favoured position would be in Brighton Way, opposite Gillies Health Centre and approximately 80 metres from the school.

Vodafone are planning a drop-in session in the near future for anyone wanting to know more about the proposals.
