Phone masts going on Town Hall

Welshpool is set to benefit financially from phone masts being installed on top of the Town Hall.

Scaffolding is expected to cover the Town Hall for the next two weeks, not great timing with the Bank Holiday weekend, but the town can expect to benefit from thousands of pounds in annual revenue.

“The scaffolding on the Town Hall is the installation of four mobile phone masts which will take around two weeks to complete,” said a spokesperson, who did not reveal how much it is expected to generate but said it will be “in the thousands”.

The Town Council is doing its best to bring in new revenue to offset against a rising annual budget.
