Plans for a phone mast close to a school in Barnes have been branded "totally unacceptable".

Richmond Park MP Zac Goldsmith said a 13.8m telephone mast in Lonsdale Road, close to Harrodian School, was a "horribly inappropriate location" and questioned the consultation period taking place over the school holidays.

Mr Goldsmith is now asking for Vodafone and Telefonica O2 UK's application for the mast to be delayed until next month.
