It must be good news that the Archbishop of Canterbury is to allow mobile phone aerials to be installed in church spires.

This will provide millions of pounds a year for the upkeep of churches and thus ensure the survival of these beautiful places for future generations to marvel at and to instil wonder and curiosity at the faith of the people who created them.

Who knows, it might even help towards the survival of the Church of England itself.

At a local level, dare one also hope this news might lead to the final completion of All Saints in Hove?

It must be a prime position for a phone mast but sadly has always lacked a spire, although the base tower stands ready.

Surely there must be a phone company which would be ready to rectify this?
