Have Your Say on the Proposed Removal of the BT Telephone Box


BT is formally consulting on plans to remove a number of pay phones from around the borough.

The deadline for the consultation to remove the phone box at the junction of The Street and Horsham Lane, Upchurch has been extended to Friday the 10th of February.

At  a recent Parish Council meeting Councillors were concerned to learn of BT's intention to remove the phone box in Upchurch. The issue is that, although the phone box may only be used infrequently, there is not a good mobile phone coverage in the village and sometimes during bad weather there is no coverage at all. In this situation the phone box could be a life line, therefore it is crucial for the phone box to be retained.  

The Parish Council has written to object to its removal.

Swale Borough Council has the right to stop any removal of a telephone box, as long as they can provide sufficient evidence that this is required.  

Residents wishing to make any comment regarding this matter should contact Sophia Ramm, Community Services Officer, Swale Borough Council, Swale House, East Street, Sittingbourne, Kent ME10 3HT. Email: sophiaramm@swale.gov.uk or Call: 01795 417193.
