Exciting tech news for Penally village! A new, taller 20-metre high 4G mast is set to replace the old 13-metre one, boosting mobile signal near Tenby. This upgrade, orchestrated by Cellnex UK, aims to improve digital connectivity in the area, benefiting both local residents and visitors. With a stronger network and better data coverage, economic resilience and social inclusion are set to get a substantial boost.
The new mast at Petals Plant Nursery will improve services from EE and Hutchison 3G UK, supporting flexible working and remote access to key services, especially in our beloved rural areas. Better connectivity means enhanced access to healthcare, education, and crucial emergency services, ensuring that everyone stays connected, even in the most remote spots.
Though the new mast will stand seven metres higher than the current structure, it’s designed to blend into the surroundings while delivering powerful performance. A planning officer noted that the visual impact would be limited, making it a win-win for the community.
This isn’t just a tech upgrade; it’s a strategic move forward that supports the local economy and community connectivity. Here’s to keeping Penally connected and thriving! 📶✨
