DUP Cllr Hazel Gamble, who requested the public information event, said: “Some concerns had been raised with me in relation to this proposal around visibility, location and health concerns. The aim of the drop-in session is to ensure local residents are aware of the proposal and to have their concerns addressed. Or, if not, at least to enable them to be fully informed.”

The Lagan River area representative confirmed that a formal planning application for the base station/mast hasn’t yet been submitted.
