GREEN EURO-MP Caroline Lucas has called for an EU-wide ban on building 'TETRA' masts for emergency service communications until fears over the safety of their radiation emissions have been answered.

Dr Lucas made her comments on a recent visit to Brighton, where locals have been horrified to discover that four Tetra masts have been installed by stealth, apparently without council permission. The masts are;
· on the roof of the John Street police station and the other
· on the roof of Theobald House, the council-owned block of flats in North Laine
· at the council-owned Brighton Racecourse and
· on top of the Royal Sussex County hospital

In a written declaration to be considered by all MEPs, Dr Lucas has demanded an immediate moratorium on the masts in light of increasing evidence the masts pose a radiation risk, especially to children. Tetra operates at a different frequency to mobile phones, which experts fear will increase health dangers.
