Thank you for telling us what you think about the run-down phone boxes in the borough
A real big thank you to our residents who gave us their feedback on run-down phone boxes in the borough.
93% of the respondents said they wanted the problematic phone boxes removed, as many people said they do not feel safe around them. We were also told that the phone boxes near transport hubs, schools and nurseries were a concern.
The main reason why people do not feel safe around dilapidated phone boxes is due to the dumped rubbish, fly posting, graffiti and anti-social behaviour they attract as well as them being used as a toilet,.
Over the next two months we will be compiling locations of the worst phone boxes, then contacting their owners and asking for their removal.
