El Dorado Mobile Home Park, at Twain and Arville, is home to hundreds of senior citizens. Most of them strictly oppose plans to put in a cell phone tower in the middle of their neighborhood. But they say their concerns aren’t being heard. That’s why they called Action News for help. The issue first came up back in August. After much debate, it was decided that a cell phone tower would not be placed on the property. But just this week, residents got a notice in their mailboxes, saying the proposal for a tower is back on the table, and quickly moving forward.”We don’t want this in our backyard,” says Gayle Parker. “They’re pushing it,” adds Phillip Ankney. “It’s the method they’re using of pushing it on us. It’s not right.” People who rent spaces at El Dorado, emailed Action News, asking how the property owner could move forward on a cell phone tower, without their permission. “This is our home,” Parker says. “There’s 250 residents here that are paying rent, what say do we have in the matter?”
