Summary
Glasgow City Council has approved a towering 17.5-meter telecom pole with six antennas and two dishes—set to boost mobile and internet service east of 93 Kingsacre Road—under permitted development rules, bypassing full planning approval. Despite dozens of resident objections over visual intrusion, safety risks near schools, and a poorly communicated consultation process, the council stands by the decision, citing national connectivity priorities and the applicant’s adherence to approved plans. The project signals a growing trend where infrastructure needs often trump local concerns. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
