Wellingore Road, Lincoln
1) I asked for any radio frequency readings EMF, regarding the routers, Street lamps etc in this are, they have stated non have been taken. Who is doing a health and safety risk assessment? There should have been a full investigation and a health risk assessment done due to the injuries sustained and a full investigation into the matter. If this wasn't done then why not.
2) I have also asked what date the 5g masts that are being placed all around us, are to be switched on. It seems this question is also proving to be a difficult one for anyone to answer. I would also like to request a meeting regarding this new technology, there is an expert witness who will also attend. - Decision

1. Lincolnshire County Council do not own or operate routers in this area that produce an EMF and we do not carry out any EMF readings for street lights. There are no Lincolnshire County Council health and safety risk assessments in place for the presence of street lighting; it is not aware of any other lighting authority that prepares these. However, as previously stated, one column was switched off in response to a specific issue raised with LCC, which was separately corroborated. The nature of the issue means that no more detail can be provided at this time without breaching confidentiality. There are no plans to switch the light back on, unless and until we receive information that the issue has been resolved.
2. Lincolnshire County Council do not own or operate 5G masts or its associated equipment. These are owned and operated by the mobile telephone operators.
