A sore point for many of us, given the value we can be for local emergency
and council services!

 

Our council initially offered us a 'special community rate' of £2,500 pa,
which they said was half price, and we declined. We then identified which
councillors were on the relevant committees (Police Board in our case) and
discussed it with them. That was more productive and we settled at £600 pa.
It might be that with a more prolonged campaign we could have reduced it to
zero, and one day I will go back to the fray!

 

One other thing to watch out for, which hit us when setting up, is that many
mast owners have a condition that you are not permitted to do anything
yourself on the mast or employ your own contractors, but are obliged to
employ their preferred contractor. In our case the contractor charges a
£1,000+ minimum call-out fee for up to a day, plus time and accommodation if
it extends beyond a day (for example if an antenna parts turns out to be
missing and you have to wait for it).

 

Also watch out how much you will be charged for electricity - if that is
being resold by the landlord it may be at a premium rate, and can mount up.

 

A second site, where we built it from scratch ourselves has proved much
cheaper - no rent, and no need to call in outside contractors for minor
works, and a very low electricty rate negotiated.

Dear All,

 

I wonder if anyone can advise how much local council should approx charge
per annum to hire out space on tower block for antenna & TX equipment.

 

Best regards
