Diocese of Lichfield Responds to Mobile Phone Mast Protests

The Church of England's Diocese of Lichfield has spoken up on mobile phone masts in a bid to pacify tensions after two separate demonstrations were held against mobile phone base stations in the Black Country.

Around 60 protestors recently blockaded a church in Wednesbury to voice their objection to a possible mast planned for the tower of St Francis of Assisi Church in Friars Park.

Protests have also been made against a mast to be installed shortly at the King's School in Wolverhampton.
