<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A sore point for many of us, given the value we can
be for local emergency and council services!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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.
