On May 25th, 2026, an alarming incident unfolded at the Willesden Green Sainsbury's local supermarket. A serious fire broke out, involving an electrical transformer and the communication mast situated within the grounds. This fire not only risked the lives of nearby residents it also threatened homes and local businesses.

The telephone mast's location must now be considered a threat to the safety of local residents. It is nestled close to residential buildings where children play and within reach of a public car park. The potential for harm is serious, and the need for proactive measures has never been clearer. Despite the gravity of the situation, Sainsbury's response has been notably inadequate.

The use of a diesel generator since the fire incident has exacerbated the environmental impact, creating unacceptable levels of noise and contributing to air pollution. It's evident that such measures are short-sighted and fail to address the root of the problem: the presence of the mast itself.

Residents of Willesden Green deserve to live in a safe and healthy environment, free from unnecessary risks. The presence of this mast poses a clear and present danger to the community. It's crucial that immediate action is taken to remove the mast and prevent future hazards.

We call upon Sainsbury's and the local authorities to prioritize the safety and well-being of the Willesden Green community by removing the telephone mast. By doing so, not only will the threat to local homes and lives be eliminated, but it will also restore a sense of security and peace to the neighborhood.

Join us in demanding a safer, healthier environment for the Willesden Green community. Sign this petition to urge the responsible parties to act swiftly and decisively in dismantling the telephone mast. Together, we can ensure that our community remains a safe haven for all its residents.
