The antenna that suddenly appeared in the Valtesse neighborhood of Bergamo continues to arouse discontent and the issue has also reached the city council, where the Northern League member Alessandro Carrara presented a question today (Monday 24 June) asking for it to be moved or downsized.
The antenna between the houses
The repeater was erected hastily, within a few hours, on Monday 17 June between the courts of the Tennis Club in via Ruggeri da Stabello, behind via Bravi, and is used to make the 5G network work. The land is owned by Immobiliare Valverde and the president of the board is Franco Togni of Automha, from which the reassurance came that everything was done in accordance with the law, with checks on environmental and health safety.
No notice to residents
Statements that evidently did not convince Carrara, who was notified of the situation by several residents, who complained about the lack of previous notices, even in the construction site area, to inform citizens of the arrival of the antenna. Nothing would have arrived even from the neighborhood networks of Valtesse, San Colombano and Conca Fiorita, which affect via Bravi, where the houses near the plant are located.
«The structure has a strong visual impact that disfigures the landscape, some properties could lose value – explained the opposition councilor -. Residents are also worried about the environmental impact that the structure could have and about possible negative repercussions on their health and that of the young people who attend the sports centre. The neighborhood is full of less densely populated areas, therefore certainly more suitable for receiving this structure.”
Online petition
Residents have also launched an online petition: you can sign it here.
