Proposed mobile phone base for Draperstown in ‘area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’
A Draperstown councillor is calling on those living in the Glenviggan Road area to have their say on proposals for a communications base station in the area.
The government funded project aims to deal with current ‘not spots’ for mobile coverage.
Sinn Fein’s Sean McGuigan said: “It is important to remember that the proposed site is located within the Sperrin Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty... local views must be taken into account by planning officials.”

“We are told it will provide a one-off opportunity to address the disadvantages affecting communities without access to mobile coverage.”
