Chester Council will send a letter to Industry Canada over the proposed location of a a cell phone tower in Western Shore. Eastlink is proposing to construct a large telecommunications tower near Frank Swinimar Road. However, residents and council are opposed to its proposed location because its so close to a residential area. Councillor Bob Myra says people simply don’t want the tower near their homes.
Myra is hopeful the company will reconsider the location of the tower and select another location. The letter from council will also be sent to MP Gerald Keddy and Chester-St Margaret’s MLA Denise Peterson-Rafuse.
