New Quay couple lose sleep over 5G mast plans by their home - BBC News

New Quay couple lose sleep over 5G mast plans by their “forever home”

A couple say they are losing sleep over plans to put up a 5G mast metres from their home. A planning application has been submitted for the mast at Quay West Holiday Park in New Quay, Ceredigion. Henry Dent and Lauren Bromley fear the 70ft (21m) mast, which would overlook their home, could affect its value. Haven Holidays, which owns the land, said the mast would enhance mobile coverage in what can be a congested area during the summer.

Henry Dent, a 44-year-old business owner, said: "All the work we've both put into this house it just feels like it's being taken away from us. "We feel invisible basically like they've completely brushed us aside. It's already taken a toll on me, I've lost a lot of sleep over this. "Worrying, feeling completely powerless - a small objection on a portal online is the only voice I have. "It's devastating. We've put everything we have into this property. It's our forever home," he added.

In a literal sense does a "forever" home's value actually matter...?

I don't need a shred of proof to know that these two would be insufferable as neighbours or if you were plopped beside them randomly at a wedding or some get-together......

The Indian scammers have all given up on us and focussed their attention domestically.

Bhoomi crying

That's way too grim and sadistic for this thread imo.

Young folk today!

If I won £50k on the lottery I’d not be spreading the news.  I’d just stick it with the rest of the dosh.
