The Warden of the District of Chester says he’s pleased Eastlink has backed down from their proposal to construct a cell phone tower near Demone Road. Allen Webber says it was a poor choice for a telecommunications tower given it’s proximately to homes in the area. He says numerous residents had expressed concerns. “It’s sort of like you’re putting an industrial structure in a entirely residential neighbourhood, so people just don’t like that – even if its good or bad or indifferent. There are all kinds of concerns – is it too close to property lines and what if it falls down – those are legitimate concerns,” Eastlink still wants to construct a tower in the municipality and is hoping to work with council and the community on selecting an alternate site. Council will send a letter of thanks to the company for removing the Demone Road site from its initial plans.
