T-MOBILE have put plans to build a mobile phone mast near Horncastle's Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School 'on hold'.
The company decided this week to pull back from the idea after worries were expressed by headteacher Tim Peacock about the safety of pupils.
T-Mobile has also cancelled an information drop-in for locals planned for Wednesday July 26 at the Admiral Rodney in Horncastle.
The session would have given people a chance to see the plans to build the phone mast on the Reindeer Close Industrial Estate, near the school.
No plannng application had been submitted to East Lindsey District Council for the mast.
A spokesman for T-Mobile said: "We do listen to people. We have put the proposal on hold and will look again at other potential sites.
"Our raison d'etre is not to upset people unecessarily but if people want mobile phones they need the equipment to make them work."
The currentT-Mobile mast giving coverage to the town is on land off Southwell Lane - but that will have to come down soon to make way for 70 Stamford Homes houses.
The T-Mobile spokesman said although they were making the decision to look elsewhere out of 'public sensitivity' he reiterated there is 'no convincing scientific evidence' mobile phone masts cause 'adverse affects'.
