Telecoms Briefing Workshops for CouncillorsEach year the MOA and operators hold a series of free telecoms briefing workshops for councillors across the country. The workshops are designed to increase knowledge of the development of networks, site design and best practice in terms of community consultation. The topics covered include the increase in customer use of mobiles and how that impacts on network development, examples of site design, government health guidance and planning advice and best practice in terms of community consultation. The workshops do not address issues relating to individual base station sites.A councillor who attended a workshop at South Oxfordshire Council commented 'it was useful to meet informally without the pressure of a formal proposal.' Whilst a Dundee City councillor felt that the workshop 'clearly summarised a complicated subject.’ A councillor from Warwick District Council said the workshop was ‘an eye opener for me. I am not involved with planning but inevitably the question of mobile phone masts will come up and it is very emotive so I really appreciate the information given.' Details of councils that have held workshops are available on the MOA website at – click here. |
 If you think your local authority would like to consider arranging a workshop, Nicola Davies, Council Liaison Manager, would be pleased to hear from them. Councils can contact the MOA at nicoladavies@ukmoa.org or by phone on 020 7331 2015. |
