THOUSANDS of mobile phone users in the North York Moors and Hambleton area will be able to get better reception following the approval by the National Park's planning committee to a scheme by BT Cellnet to erect a 22.5m mast at Sproxton.
A spokesman said it would provide much needed better coverage in an area from Sutton Bank, along the A170 Thirsk to Scarborough road, where it is at present very restricted.
Chief planning officer Val Dilcock said the mast would be camouflaged by a nearby wood.
However, planning officers said the structure should stay in place for only 13 years.
