I was asked by local resident Lizzie to speak to the Council/BT about removing the discontinued telephone box on Russell Hill Road.
Both told me that this was a matter for New World Payphones whom I emailed.
I was then told that following investigation, the kiosk was removed and decommissioned and this has now been upgraded with a new improved asset as part of their investment in improving their infrastructure, accessibility and service. This includes smarter advertising.
I have, however been advised that there are still some further cosmetic/operational works to do before this booth becomes fully operational.
My thanks to New World Payphones for their efforts on this and local resident Lizzie for highlighting this.
