BT
calls time on Burnham-On-Sea telephone boxes
 British
Telecom has this week called time on six telephone boxes in the
Burnham-On-Sea area, announcing that they are to be removed as
part of a cost-cutting programme.
The
half dozen pay phones - some of which are the traditional red
boxes - have been chosen because BT says they are used less than
once a month.
The
boxes to be removed include those sited in Rectory Drive in Burnham
(pictured), Penmoor Road in Berrow, The Causeway at Mark, East
Brent in Highbridge, The Walrow in Highbridge, and at Basonbridge.
A
BT spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We are committed to
providing a payphone service but usage has halved in the last
two years. Before removing any kiosk with no alternative payphone
within 400m we write to the local authority to obtain consent."
