Mobile phone masts

The Mobile Phone Operators Association (MOA) was established in January 2003 to represent the five UK mobile phone network operators (3, O2, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone) on issues of health, scientific research and planning associated with the use of mobile phone technology.

The MOA acts as a focal point sharing relevant information with interested parties such as local planners, elected councillors, resident groups, amenity bodies and the public.  The mobile network operators introduced a code of best practice in 2001, the Ten Commitments, which aimed to provide more information to the public and local planners.  The Ten Commitments have been incorporated into government best practice codes produced in England, Scotland and Wales.

Visit the MOA website for a series of information sheets for elected members and the public.
