The site where the mast will be located (Credit Kath Walker) A 5G mast is being built in Tranmere, despite its appearance being described as a monstrosity by a disgusted local resident. The mast, which will be 15 metres tall and will help improve 4G and 5G connectivity, is being built at the junction of Old Chester Road and Queen Street. Last year, Wirral Council rejected plans by telecommunications firm Three for a 20-metre tall mast at the same site due to concerns over its appearance. Explaining this, Wirral Council s letter of rejection said: The proposed development, due to its highly prominent siting within the street scene and significantly greater girth and scale than any other nearby item of street furniture, would be a discordant and intrusive feature causing harm to visual amenity.

Call of the wild: New Zealand s southern-most islands are a wilderness hotspot.
If you are looking for adventure, exploration, and candid wildlife encounters, seek out some of most isolated islands on Earth. Andrea Vance and Iain McGregor visited New Zealand’s subantarctic islands with Heritage Expeditions. Bare, slippery granite, pummelled by the Southern Ocean, and washed clean of soil and vegetation, the Bounty Islands appear to be one of the most inhospitable places on Earth.

Rockhopper penguins scrambled onto the Bounty Islands’ rocky shore. They lie almost 700km south-east of the South Island, and with no safe anchorage or obvious landing sites, or freshwater, they are the most remote and least visited of New Zealand’s subantarctic islands. Their Māori name – Moutere Hauriri – means “angry wind”.
