A coalition of rural, wildlife and conservation bodies has called for an urgent review of the rollout of mobile network infrastructure across Scotland amid concerns about the impact of masts on the country’s most remote spaces.

Organisations including the John Muir Trust, Mountaineering Scotland and RSPB Scotland have written to Sir Chris Bryant, Westminster’s minister of state for digital and data infrastructure, asking for a review of the Total Not-Spot (TNS) element of the Shared Rural Network (SRN) programme.

The programme, introduced under the previous Conservative administration, is a collaboration between the UK Government and mobile phone operators including O2 and Vodafone, seeking to achieve 95% 4G mobile phone coverage across Britain.
