At first sight, all the self-generated fuss at Cardiff Bay about making mobile phone masts subject to more effective planning controls seems reasonable – but at another less populist level it is sadly another example of politicians collectively managing to miss the point. Which is that the situation needs something more than a piecemeal regulatory approach.
If AMs and councils are as seriously concerned as they say about the proliferation of mobile phone masts and the environmental & health effects on the community then they should be pressing for the network to be designated into a national utility - rather than a series of competing systems. Of course, it will mean persuading the government to relinquish a sizeable licensing fee income but the shortfall can always be made up by other imaginative Treasury means.

This too much like common sense. Stop it at once!
