Sir – I would think there is only one answer to Vodafone, who wish to erect a mobile phone mast near the war memorial — no.

Their request is as insensitive as the planners who erect so many street signs in front of some of our very fine buildings in the High Street.

However, if Vodafone must have a mast, I would suggest it was put in Bonn Square, which is no thing of beauty, despite the amount of money spent on it and it could stand between the very tall street lights.
