Although we plan to continue posting information and encouraging discussion here at parwich.org, we also encourage anyone interested to look at the very helpful and well laid out information section on the Parwich Parish Council website

PARWICH.ORG 
It is a very clear and succinct presentation.
It portrays all of the information that is known to the residents of the village and to the Parish Council.
However, it is also a good advert for what Shared Access are trying to achieve – and with the added bonus of ££30 000 for a 25 year lease – what an attractive offer!
Scant recompense, though, if any of the anecdotal evidence, that is only briefly referred to, is proven to be correct.
If my Maths is correct, £23.07 per week to be located so close to a number of houses. I wonder if any other site could offer such a bargain?
Amended 11.40pm just to clarify how this comment was posted. The following was sent in an email to the Blog Team by Di T. and has been made into this comment by the Blog Team. Di also sent us a photograph/map which is shown in a separate comment.:
I am posting this for a neighbour who received a letter about the proposed phone mast. She feels strongly against it, but doesn’t feel confident posting to the blog.
She feels that the whole village, especially those within a 400m radius of the proposed mast, should be made aware of the consequences that a phone mast may have. Here is some health information she would like to share in relation to the issue.
This is taken from a website MastSanity.org and can be found here:

We are all very concerned about the mast, and support the sharing of relevant information.
She also suggested a map of Parwich with the distances from the proposed site. I have created one so that people can gauge the reach. Some sources, such as the one above, suggest there is a cause for concern within a radius of 400m. Others suggest 600m.

The following text is from the website cited above:
Mobile Phone Masts
There are now over 50,000 Mobile Phones Masts in the UK.
They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
Masts can look like big towers that seem similar to pylons but don’t have wires attached.
They can be tall poles that look like lamp posts but don’t have a light on top.
Masts can also be what look like sticks or long grey or white boxes put at the top of buildings such as schools, hospitals, colleges, churches, flats and offices.
They can even just be small boxes the size of burglar alarms, often placed on the sides of shops in shopping centres and along high streets.
Avoiding Mobile Phone masts is almost impossible.
What’s Wrong With Masts?
“Cancer Clusters” have been found around Mobile Phone Masts, up to 400 metres from a mast. People living near each other and close to a mast have ended up with rare cancers at nearly the same time as each other. These people live where they are getting the strongest signal from the nearby mast(s). This has been the case in Devon, Lincolnshire and Staffordshire.
It isn’t just cancer! Other people living in these areas, close to masts commonly find they get many common symptoms including heart palpitations (flutters), lots of headaches, nose bleeds, problems sleeping, itchy burning skin and feel really depressed.
