Residents slam mast monstrosity erected overnight on Counthill Road Date published: 18 January 2021
The 5G mast on Counthill Road
The blight of unsightly and what have been described as complete eyesore 5G masts has struck in Oldham again. Terrified residents and devastated business owners hit out at the sudden sight of a 5G mast in Failsworth back in September, and though they had a sympathetic ear from the leader of Oldham Council at the time, changes in planning laws last year meant locals were denied a say when an initial application to erect the mast was submitted.
Now, local residents have responded with despair again at the sight of a new 5G mast which was erected one night in December on Counthill Road in Watersheddings.
