Dear Mr Phoenix
I wrote the enclosed letters to Dr Tahzib, and since understand that he has been unwell. I have been advised that you are my best contact in the absence of a deputy director for public health.
You will see from my letters (I will not repeat the content unnecessarily here) that I speak on behalf of a number of Worthing residents, urgently seeking your help. The manifestation of a number of symptoms of ill health, coincident with the location and activation of a TETRA communications mast, lead us to believe that it is the sole cause, and should be removed or de-activated with some urgency.
We know that we are far from being alone in the UK in this regard, but no-one until now has taken sufficient interest in the matter. If our water was being polluted with the same symptomatic effects, action would no doubt be taken at once.
Please do not resort to the arguments surrounding the TETRA technology that it is ‘unlikely to cause harm’. These are not ordinary mobile phone masts, and there is sufficient doubt in the arguments for their safety in any case, but something is happening here for real, and for the sake of our health something must be done.
You will be aware of the effects of sleep deprivation. I can only survive, after nearly three weeks without proper sleep, by now shielding my head with two sheets of steel at night. This, for me, helps confirm the source, but it is your responsibility on behalf of all of us to establish properly the sudden source for our ill health.
We are not some ‘hippy’ or ‘swampy’ group out to get ‘bad business’. We are just ordinary folk who are suffering and asking why. Please help us.
yours sincerely
Andy Davidson
