Hi Roy, great news! Ericsson have withdrawn their application to build the tower. After
getting several parents to agree to remove their children and making sure the community
knew who would be directly accountable if kids got sick, the Headmaster started having
second thoughts. It still came down to simple economics, the loss of income from the
students was substantially more than the revenue from the site. Still chalk one up for the
little guy! Here is the "offical" reason and I quote "Due to large public dissatisfaction
with our application for Milnerton Primary we feel that, although there is no actual
health risk, to proceed wuold have a negative public opinion consequence for the third
operator. Therefore we are withdrawing our application for planning consent for Milnerton
Primary. We will erect our commercial launch site at the Telcom/Vodacom mast at 111
Koeberg Rd." The Koeberg Road mast is on a large open field and is therefore a more
sensible choice, and mast sharing should have a lesser impact on the environment.Thanks to
everyone who helped me and I would like to be of assistance to anyone else if I could.Mike
