A new cellphone tower being constructed on Trezona Avenue has the community up in arms. They are concerned about the side-effects the so-called radiation will cause.
The Eaton tower in front of the Idols Pub in Mindalore will be rented out to various service providers.
A concerned resident from the area met with the news to discuss her fears regarding this tower.
“Although I am not an expert in the field, I am sure the radiation from these towers is very serious,” warns Ronel Nielsen.
She first noticed this gigantic new structure at the beginning of November and brushed it off as a new shop being built.
After stopping at the site a week or so later, she quickly learned that the construction of this tower had been announced in a notice sent to residents, however Nielsen never received one.
She urged residents of this area to stand together and oppose the construction of these towers in residential areas.
“The radiation this tower emits out not only is harmful to the children in the area but can be bad for local food-store owners.”
She believes the radiation could contaminate the food people buy at the store close to the tower.
“If the residents stand together they could have this tower removed, and placed somewhere else – not in a residential area; if not they will construct the next tower right in your back yard,” she warned.
