A controversial mobile phone tower at Gateshead was going ahead, then the land owner backed out of the lease to the happiness of residents, but now it seems to have been for naught with Lake Macquarie Council voting to go ahead with it.
Despite concerns from residents, councillors voted 7-4 in favour of the 37 metre high tower proposed for the Bulls Garden Road last night.
Nearby Whitebridge residents say the tower will be ugly and pose a health risk.
It's expected to improve mobile phone coverage for Vodafone and Optus customers in the area.
