BAD news for campaigners against the planned phone mast in Bussage as the youth club's trustees agree to the plans.

After many objections from members of the community, trustees of the Frith Youth Centre have decided to agree to allow the construction of a phone mast behind their building.

A representative said: "The Frith Youth Centre Trustees have agreed in principle to sign the contract with CILT for the mobile phone mast subject to further negotiation.

"The Trustees realise this will disappoint those who are unhappy about the mast, but having considered carefully the claims of the campaigners, the Trustees have concluded the interests of The Frith Youth Centre and the wider community are best served by signing the contract."

Olga Raffa, a campaigner who started a recent petition against the plans, is not happy about the decision, she said: "It's about health, it's the children I'm worried about.

"I'm fine, I'll can move away, but the carcinogens will affect the people who are in that area.

"If you go on the petition page, there are videos and information about the dangers of this mast."

The trustees will release a longer statement in the coming days to explain their decision further.
