A mobile telephone company has been thwarted in its efforts to put up a communications mast in Staffordshire.
Vodafone has been refused permission to erect the third generation (3G) mast on Liverpool Road in Kidsgrove.
Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council feared the structure would have a negative impact on the area. The town council also objected to the plans.
Vodafone says it has a duty to provide 3G coverage and will apply to put up the mast at the train station instead.
