The power of the internet is truly awesome.

Yesterday’s blog contained an account of the public meeting at Rhos-on-Sea, held to express opposition to the plans to locate a mobile phone mast outside the ancient parish church of St Trillo.

First thing this morning, I received a telephone call from a representative of Ericsson. He told me that they had been re-evaluating their network and had decided to not to proceed with the Rhos mast. They had a roaming agreement with Orange, and intended to see if that would be sufficient for their purposes. They were not abandoning their consent for the mast (which they had obtained by default, as a result of Conwy planning department failing to deal properly with the planning application), but he promised not to take any further action on the proposal without letting me know first.

To say I am delighted would be an understatement. This was an entirely inappropriate proposal and the local people were appalled by it. It is good to know that sometimes the big boys do listen to the concerns of the little people.
