WHAT puzzles me about plans for a mobile phone mast is how T-Mobile (UK) can put a mast up on land which is (or was) the property of the citizens of York?
Have these companies the powers of compulsory purchase orders which allow them to buy whatever property they want when they want it?
The same thing happened with the Castle Museum site not long ago.
I can't see how the phone companies, property developers and builders can submit plans on properties they don't own.
Is City of York Council so strapped for cash that it has to flog everything to compensate for its incompetence?
Many people could suggest a better place for T-Mobile to put this mast.
