Dear Kent County Council,
You have absolutely no idea what your talking about.

You answered yes to question 4, which means you are planning smart highways thus will be using 5G tech.

Also, the LED lights will be connected with 2G, 3G or 4G signals using possibly dialectic lens (long antennas - 5G tech), the domes are 3G/4G tech, so you don’t even know what your deploying.

The Council must also be aware that 5G masts are planned to go up - It’s a legal requirement in the Planning Framework 2019 - details found here: https://smombiegate.org/how-to-legally-o...

You go onto the installation of LED lights but do not hold any legal framework for the tech it seems?

If you read this: https://smombiegate.org/if-led-street-li... - You will see that LED streetlights are RG2, which means there is a British Safety Standard.

Here’s proof LED streetlights are harmful:

Your answers are absolutely appalling and the fact you are hiding the designs of LED streetlights to the public is scary.

Yours sincerely,

Mr Leigh
