OUTRAGED residents are petitioning to prevent the construction of a 60-foot 5G mast in Southbourne. Application for the proposed 18m mast on Stourwood Avenue is underway and local reaction has been considerably negative. Unsightliness and health risks have been the most cited reasons by residents, who have both submitted complaints and signed petitions. Stourwood Avenue resident Terence Newcombe said: “This proposed site is totally wrong for unproven and potentially dangerous technology. To suggest that a site close to the cliff top, a public house and many private flat dwellings could be suitable defies logic.” Fellow resident Kelly Clark said: “Unsightly and unnecessary. I object whole heartedly to the erection of such a large mast in a beautiful, natural location where residents and holiday makers like to bask in the sunshine.”

Lockdowns and vaccines
Re Ontario Health Officials Press For Stay-at-home Order (April 6): We are so weary. We find ourselves, once again, unable to resume regular activities without fear of becoming very ill.
Restraining activities such as outdoor dining, workouts and haircuts won’t get us to physical, mental and economic recovery without more support for testing and contact tracing, enhanced school safety, paid sick leave for anyone who contracts the virus and paid time off for vaccinations – all measures that Doug Ford has resisted in preference to the default option of lockdowns.
