Maggie's Campaign Gets Top Tory Backing


On a visit to Solihull, Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment, Peter Ainsworth, met with Maggie and local campaigners, fighting to stop two phone masts currently proposed in Solihull, at Widney Manor and at Shirley Heath.

Maggie commented: "At the moment the law favours the mast providers. I am campaigning to get the law changed so it is on the side of local residents. Residents deserve to have more say in where these masts for the new generation phones are sited."

Mr Ainsworth added: "Maggie has achieved great success in stopping phone mast applications across Solihull and I am sure she will be successful with these two. It is only by changing legislation that people will really have a voice. This is why I am backing Maggie's campaign for local people to have their say."
