Sketty 5G Mast

Residents of Derwen Fawr were out in force Friday Evening (2nd June) at their Community Village Green to object to the installation of 15 meter (50 foot) tall 5G phone mast and associated control cabinets.

The proposal submitted to Swansea Council by Hutchinson is for a mast and cabinets installation at the edge of the green at the junction of Rhyd Y Defaid Drive and Valley View.

Many dog walkers, local residents and their children regularly use this green space as a valued local amenity, previously granted village green status thanks to historic resident action.

Swansea Lib Dem Councillors Mike Day, Nicola Furlong and Michael Locke were present, local activist Anthony James and Mike Day addressed the local residents to an extremely positive response with popular agreement to raise objections with the Swansea Planning Department.
