A CAMPAIGN to stop mobile phone masts from being put up near schools was being stepped up on Friday.
Andrew Stunell, MP for Hazel Grove, was presenting a Bill to Parliament which would bring in stricter planning controls.
Mr Stunell said he wanted schools, homes and medical facilities to be safeguarded from potential radiation. Currently, local authorities do not have the power to block phone masts which are under 15 metres.
