PLANS to replace a phone mast have led to residents raising concerns about the possible impact on their health. Telefonica, which owns O2, has submitted an application to remove a 23-metre mast in Eynsham and replace it with a 20-metre one, together with associated antennas, radio equipment cabinets and ancillary development works. Documents say this will provide improved Vodafone and new Telefonica services to the area, and could eventually lead to 5G services. However, locals have made their voices heard by objecting to the proposals in Witney Road. Ian Jackman said: “It is not right that this should be anywhere near residential homes, it should be sited out in fields and open spaces. We have a continuous humming all day and all night.”
