Brig: 5G antenna in densely populated area thwarted by 81 objections
https://schutz-vor-strahlung.ch/ - Deepl translation
In the "Obri Glismatte" area, in a densely populated residential area in the immediate vicinity of school buildings, daycare centers and sports facilities, Swisscom wanted to erect a five-meter mast with a 5G antenna on a flat roof.
There were 81 objections to the planning application with a total of 777 signatures. As a result, the Brig-Glis municipal council refused Swisscom planning permission on 22 June 2021, as the antenna's installation limit value was not complied with according to the site data sheet. "The council does not consider it appropriate to erect a mobile phone antenna in this area."
In addition, there is neither a need nor a requirement on the part of residents in the area, especially as a fiber optic connection is available. Mobile phone coverage is already guaranteed in the area in question. And a new 5G antenna would only satisfy artificially created needs such as streaming videos.
The municipal council is calling on Swisscom to review alternative locations outside of the settlement area and to plan all mobile phone installations as a whole. These should be built in such a way that they have as little impact as possible on people's health. The concerns of local residents regarding excessive radiation exposure are justified. According to the latest findings, there is a risk of damage to health even if the limit values are adhered to, in particular oxidative cell stress and, as a result, cancer. This has been proven by countless studies.
And the introduction of adaptive antennas would exacerbate the situation. It is therefore incomprehensible that Swisscom wants to erect a 5G antenna in densely populated residential areas in the immediate vicinity of school buildings, daycare centers and sports facilities. The influence of radiation on children in particular has not yet been researched at all.
On 26 July 2021, Swisscom lodged an appeal against the building permit with the Valais State Council and demanded that the decision be revoked and the building permit granted. However, the State Council upheld the municipal council's decision and dismissed Swisscom's appeal on November 22, 2023.
