Removal of BT Telephone Boxes in Dalston Area

BT plan to remove a number of payphones across Carlisle District and have consulted the City Council.

In order for Carlisle City Council to reply it is inviting local residents' views on the proposed removal of 27 phone boxes.

In their letter of notification to the Council, BT said that calls made from their payphones had more than halved in the last three years with 60% of the 61,792 payphones in Britain no longer covering their cost. BT has out a review of its payphone provision and is now proposing the removal of a number of payphones in the district.
