Telecoms Training Workshops

In addition to the annual rollout plans, the MOA’s long-standing programme of telecoms training workshops for local authorities across the country continues.

Each 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.

Details of councils that have held workshops are available on the MOA website at - http://www.mobilemastinfo.com/planning/mast_briefing.htm.

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.
