Work is set to begin tomorrow (Thursday 8 June) to restore the phone mast on the water tower at Haddenham. The reinstatement is expected to be complete and operational on Thursday 22 June.

Many residents of Haddenham, Sutton and surrounding villages have been without mobile phone signal since early May following damage to the tower which hosts the mast.

Before the recent bank holiday two new microwave links were installed adjacent to the damaged water tower to provide some connectivity, with all connections having to be re-laid. The main site however still needs to be reinstated with the full complement of technology, and Wireless Infrastructure Group has been instructed to proceed with the works.

This has been a very challenging site as the main structure, where all the equipment was installed, was severely damaged and needed to be repaired prior to the completion of the remaining technology installation.
