BT Telephone Kiosk Removals Consultation

 

 

The purpose of this decision is to agree or object to the removal of 9 telephone kiosks currently being consulted upon by BT.  The Council may also agree to the relevant parish council, or relevant local group, adopting kiosks being consulted upon, which will result in the kiosk remaining and the telephony equipment being removed.  BT, and other providers, must consult the local authority before removing any telephone kiosks or telephony equipment from kiosks.

 

The BT consultation is time-limited.  A draft decision by the Head of Transformation was published and sent to the Secretary of State on 1 October 2020 following an initial 42-day consultation.  This is the final decision, which follows a further 30-day consultation.
