Dee: Yes, from the dates listed above this transmitter will provide the local East Midlands service.
However, if you get a signal from Sutton Coldfield, the aerial will not be pointing in the correct direction.

Dee: You will get better services, but from Sutton Coldfield in two weeks time, with all services from Sutton Coldfield being at full power from November 2011.
The signals from Waltham are now at their final power levels.
