5G equipment could be installed on lampposts and other council-owned property across Devon, after the county council’s cabinet approved a proposal to allow such installations.

The move came in spite of health concerns voiced by some councillors.

Devon County Council previously said in 2019 that it had no plans to approve 5G radio equipment on lampposts, at a time when health concerns were raised as a potential issue.
