BT proposes to remove 49 payphones (the phone box and the equipment) listed below, because the phone has had very little use over a significant period of time.
BT and the Council have consulted on the proposal. The Council are now consulting on the “First Notification” which is the Council’s draft decision on whether to object or consent to the removal of the payphone equipment.
Based on previous consultation comments, usage and any knowledge of social need, the Council are now publishing their First Notification – this is their draft decision on whether they object or consent to the removal of the payphone equipment.
After considering the comments from this consultation, Sheffield City Council will send their Final Decision to the Secretary of State and BT. They will also pass on contact details of anyone wishing to adopt any of the red ‘heritage’ phone box. It’s simple to do and costs just £1. http://business.bt.com/phone-services/payphone-services/adopt-a-kiosk/
