Horning: O2 apologises to MP over nesting seagulls mast mix-up

North Norfolk MP Duncan Baker says he has received an apology from O2 after he was wrongly told seagulls were nesting in a mast in his constituency

The network provider initially confirmed to the MP that there were gull-related issues in Horning before back-tracking to say the affected temporary mast was, in fact, at the University of East Anglia, in Norwich. Various explanations were given by phone companies to villagers before Conservative MP Mr Baker became involved.

"There has been a bit of a mix-up between us and Duncan Baker MP's office here which has caused some confusion," said an O2 spokesman."This is entirely our fault - he asked us for information about a site in his constituency but we erroneously gave him information relating to another site - still in Norfolk but completely unrelated to Horning.Earlier in Parliament, Mr Baker said the issue of nesting seagulls would be "comical" if it was not "so serious".

: "The mast we are now referring to is still being decommissioned around the Horning area is at RAF Neatishead - that is the one we are now investigating into why it's being decommissioned."Quite frankly, I'm not surprised as O2 don't seem to know what the left hand is doing from the right hand."
