CONCERNED Manchester Road, Leigh, residents rang me worried about the appearance of a telecommunications mast appearing in the vicinity last week. On investigation I discovered that it was actually erected two months ago and is on Leigh Miners Rangers' land.
It gives the club some welcome revenue and keeps the youngsters' subscriptions down. It is well away from habitation and the club house which houses a nursery. It has been through planning, public consultation and a planning appeal which was carried through by Orange. It has also been painted green and is therefore less unobtrusive.
So there is some advantage to having these controversial masts after all!
