Petition raised by jmmcg@hotmail.co.uk (tel 856129)
www.jerseymastconcern.co.uk
Why are we against mobile phone technology?
We are not against mobile phone technology. They are very useful and have saved lives in emergencies. We are against the unregulated growth of the new mast network for the third generation (3G) of wire-less communications because the new masts are not only closer together in Jersey, they are closer to residential areas and schools than usual best practise' recommendations and will also operate at higher frequencies. We believe evidence, which strongly suggests that higher frequency services (like 3G and the new Tetra services) are more dangerous to humans, especially children.
Why does Jersey need 200 plus masts in an area of 45 sq miles?
It doesn't, so why did the JCRA (Jersey Competition Regulatory Authority) allow provision for four licences to telecommunications companies in such a small and adequately served area?
Why do we want to make health' the issue?
Because many people have genuine and legitimate concerns about the adverse effects on their health from mobile phone masts close to schools, hospitals and homes. We would be prudent to adopt, in full, the precautionary approach recommended by the Stewart Report (2000) and to look at policy adopted by other countries around the world. It is imperative that health is not excluded as a pertinent planning issue.
We, the undersigned people of Jersey have brought this Island wide petition to The Minister for Planning and Environment who is requested to take the necessary steps, in conjunction with other Ministers as appropriate, to ensure that no mobile phone mast or base station can be situated less than 300 metres from private residences, schools, residential homes, and other sensitive areas. Also that further erection of masts should be halted whilst
there is serious doubt as to the effects of radiation that is emitted, on the health of the population of the Island.
