ROFFEY motorists were this week locked out of their cars, when it is believed a controversial new mobile phone mast disabled their remote locking systems.
John Pudney, managing director of Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealers The Horsham Car Centre, in Crawley Road, said customers had been unable to get into cars parked on the showroom forecourt since the mast was switched on last week.
And the remote controlled keys used on a third of his 30-car stock had been blocked.
International mobile phone giant O2 is stuck in a dispute with Horsham District Council (HDC) after it put up a 12.5 metre tall mast without the council's permission, on Roffey Corner, in Crawley Road, in August.
Full report in the County Times.
