Welcome to the ‘Say No To 5G’ campaign in LB Richmond-upon-Thames We stand for: A full, open and honest debate about 5G and plans to install it
everywhere A halt on installing technology that’s bad for us, animals and the
environment |
|||
|
A bit of background
information The government wants new 5G mobile-wireless technology rolled
out nationwide by 2027. The
neighbouring London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham has been made a trial site for rolling out
5G small cells (‘mobile phone masts’ in street lighting outside people’s homes)
in 2020. Microwave radiation
levels in public places there are already high. Other boroughs like
Richmond will not be far behind. (For our 5G coverage checker,
please click here.), If not stopped, the wider 5G project will
have serious consequences for our
health, our privacy and the environment. |

Stand up for
yourself and those closest to you. You can help us to stop 5G As local activists, we are keen to get some help for spreading
awareness of 5G issues and
generating popular resistance. We are contacting community groups, giving out leaflets to the public and more. We wish to
encourage others to take the
initiative in ways that fit in with their available time and
circumstances. For example you could use social media or lobby your MP or local councillors. Some
key points you might you might consider using: * There is no proof of safety for 5G but many studies
indicate harmful effects from microwave emissions. Thousands of scientists
and other health professionals have signed an international appeal for a halt
(‘moratorium’) on the expansion of 5G. * The existing safety advice on mobile-wireless radiation
from advisory bodies ICNIRP and Public Health England is out of date and
inadequate. It has only covered very limited exposure and lesser heating
effects. * Allowing 5G would undermine both Public Health England’s
official policy of preventing ill-health and our local council’s role in
health promotion. It would add to the pressure on our already-strained health
services. * The government is wrong to try to remove planning
permission from local communities. Instead they should be given more powers
to reject controversial developments. For more information
and general reference material, see our links page). If you can help with the above or on wider campaigning
activities, please contact us without obligation – email barnes
