Regarding the Gazette's article on Network Rail's proposed 33-metre mast at New Mill and subsequent letters the question readers should be asking is, where are all the other masts going?

We know of one proposed for Great Bedwyn, and another possibly for Woodborough, but what about all the others?

Network Rail says they need to be four or five miles apart, which means that quite a few more will be required in Pewsey Vale alone.

But Network Rail won't tell us where. It claims to be exempt from the planning process, and therefore does not have to tell anyone.

Clearly, it wants to pick off communities one by one protesters in targeted communities can be accused of nimbyism, while other communities are lulled into a false sense of security.

It's not just communities close to a railway that should be concerned much of Pewsey Vale and other parts of Wiltshire are Areas Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. That's part of the reason why many of us live here.

If Network Rail is allowed to disfigure it with these giant masts, the quality of all our lives would suffer. Property values would fall. And tourism would suffer too.

What we need is a concerted campaign for the whole area Pewsey Vale Against the Masts, or Wiltshire Against Rail Masts WARM
