BT proposes to remove 28 public phone boxes across Rugby
British Telecom (BT) proposes to remove 28 public phone boxes across Rugby Borough. According to BT, this is on the basis of low usage, the extent of mobile network coverage for normal and emergency use and that the majority of people do not view payphones as essential for most customers in most circumstances.
The consultation process also gives local communities the opportunity to adopt a traditional red 'heritage' phone box and make them an asset that local people can enjoy. More information about adopting a kiosk is available on the BT website https://business.bt.com/solutions/small-business/communities/adopt-a-kiosk-how-it-works/
As part of the consultation process, BT wants to know the views of the local community and Rugby Liberal Democrats are encouraging local residents to have their say. If you would like to adopt a red 'heritage' phone box then please get in touch with us via info@rugbylibdems.org.uk
Rugby Borough Council is responsible for coordinating consultation responses and will respond to BT on a case by case basis (whether the proposed loss of the phone box is agreed, objected to or whether the community wish to adopt the box themselves).
