An application by a Canadian trading firm to build a 1,000-foot radio mast in rural England has hit opposition from local residents concerned both by its height and the failure of the company to address safety concerns.

Attendees of a parish council meeting held on February 15 in Ash, a village near the site of the proposed radio mast in Richborough, Kent, voted unanimously to oppose the construction of the tower, according to records of the meeting published on the council website.
