Satellite Dishes A number of locals have voiced their concerns that there are a lot of new satellite dishes popping up in the Weoley Hill area. They are very visible and are clearly not hidden from public view. People have sent photographs of what they believe is harming the beauty and uniqueness of living within the BVT. Should people ensure that their satellite dishes be hidden from public view? We would like to hear your views and comments regarding visible satellite dishes, please write to pav@lightbreeze.co.uk . 10
