Residents protest against masts
Residents in Derby have staged a march against plans for two new mobile phone masts in their communities.

They walked between the war memorial on Shelton Lock Green and the Red Lion pub in Chellaston.

Protestors said the masts for Vodaphone were going to be positioned in inappropriate places close to the junior school and the war memorial.

Planning permission has been granted for the firm to erect a mast on the junction of Derby Road and the Parkway.

The second site on the green has yet to be given approval.

The residents were joined on their march by the South Derbyshire MP, Mark Todd.
