| The proposed new equipment - unlikely to add charm to Top Town |
There has been a jolt to North East Lincolnshire Council in its multi-million pound aspirations to enhance the St James' Church end of Grimsby's Top Town.
A plan has been submitted to increase the number of mobile phone antennae on the Devonshire House office block from three to six as part of 5G roll-out.
The council's officer, Louise Jennings, is not objecting to the proposal but is less than impressed.
Says she: "The equipment on top of Devonshire House does not make a positive contribution to the conservation area.
"However, the proposals for replacement equipment will be neutral when considering it against the present street scene."
She adds: "The removal of all the rooftop equipment would be positive if this could be achieved in the future."
The application is currently under consideration by NELC planners.
