Hawthorn Close Mast: a neighbourhood tries to stop an 18-metre pole

Why it surfaced

This is unusually concrete local reporting: the site compares the proposed 18m monopole with nearby houses and a 9m lamp-post, names the planning references, and reproduces recent exchanges with North Herts Council. It also gives residents a phone number and specific instructions if work begins.

A Hitchin residents’ site documents a proposed phone mast, publishes council correspondence, and organises a petition and email updates.
