The local residents of San Francisco and especially those of Calvary, are voicing their complaints to City Hall, with little success, the presence of a station with three or four antenna towers that emit radio signals, television and mobile phone.

These antennas are next to the Ermita de la Reja, less than 50 m from the nearest houses.

Residents fear the permanent effect of exposure to emissions from these antennas can have on health, especially with mobile telephony, especially lately affected to some cases of cancer that are occurring in the neighborhood.

Although not yet demonstrated the dangers of mobile phone masts (although there is evidence of this), but also their safety, so we understand that it must take action in any case, since at least any potential threat, as this , can alter significantly the comfort of residents.

Therefore, from the socialist ranks appeal to the precautionary principle, as established by resolution of the European Council in December 2000, "when an activity poses a threat or harm to human health or the environment, take precautions even when the cause-effect relationship has not been conclusively scientifically proven. "

This statement implies act even in the presence of uncertainty, lead accountability and security to those who create the risk, analyze alternatives and use participatory methods for decision making.

We must also take into account the visual impact that this antenna complex is next to a monument and exceptional viewpoint as is the Ermita de la Reja, cataloged in the PGMO with the highest degree of protection.

Therefore, and because the topography of the area allows, according to Alfonso Sanchez said: "To avoid these impacts could relocate this station antennas, carrying it about 400 or 500 m, for example in the area where the tank municipal water, as an alternative, we propose to the Plenary Council agreed that the study and analysis of all actual or potential impacts, whether visual or health and, where appropriate, a request to the concessionaire for making the transfer of the station to a more suitable area.
