A PLANNING application has been lodged to install a new 5G phone mast at a business park in Kidderminster.

Cignal Infrastructure UK wants to improve network coverage for residents by installing the 15m street police.

As part of the planning statement, the firm said: "Cignal Infrastructure UK are in the process of supporting the UK Government’s Digital connectivity objective and providing a critical role in building the UK’s fastest mobile network to provide improved coverage and capacity, most notably in relation to 5G services."

The proposed location for the new mast and its associated works is at The Towers at Foley Business Park.

Cignal added in the planning statement: "The proposed site option is considered the best available compromise between extending 5G service across the target ‘coverage hole’ with the selected street works pole height and associated antenna and ground-based cabinets restricted to the minimum height which is capable of providing the required essential coverage".
