Gun Police Halt Mast Protest

By Nic Fleming

Three protesters were arrested by armed police yesterday as
they tried to prevent engineers putting up a mobile phone
mast.

They were part of a 50 strong group of residents who have been 
trying to stop the mast since they learned of Orange phone
company's plans last summer.

The protesters blocked Farm Avenue in Harpenden, Herts, and 
refused to move out of the way of a lorry carrying concrete to
the site. Orange's mast was put up after the arrests.

Teacher John Williams, his wife Cynthia and nurse Olive Hayward,
all 55, were cautioned and released.

They had prevented the base station being built 10 days ago but 
yesterday engineers returned with 10 armed policemen.

Mr Williams said: "people are not convinced it is healthy to live
under a mast".
