TIME SENSITIVE DOCUMENT – REPLY REQUIRED
Our reference: - 27264493MR

Dear Sir or Madam,

REMOVAL OF PUBLIC PAYPHONE: 01606 593690

I am writing to advise you that the kiosk at Bramley Cottage, Cassia Green, Marton CW7 2PZ has
recently been involved in an incident, which damaged the kiosk beyond repair and it had to be
removed on safety grounds. As a result we have completed an assessment of the area and the need
for a payphone at this location. During our assessment we discovered that the payphone has
received very low or no use during the past twelve months. Due to the high costs to replace the
kiosk, we are proposing not to replace it and permanently cease service at this site.

Our obligation to provide a Universal Service will be maintained, as there are other kiosks within
the vicinity. The nearest alternative kiosk is at Cinderhill, Whitegate CW8 2BH which is 1250
meters away.

Before we can permanently remove a kiosk we have an obligation to consult with relevant public
bodies on the proposed removal. As part of the consultation process it is a requirement that the
Council reply in writing to BT within 90-days giving their comments or any objections received
from the local community. Further information on the consultation process can be found at:
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/consultations/uso/statement/removing_callboxes.pdf

If you do not reply, it will be taken that the council and interested parties have no objection to the
permanent removal of this payphone.
A notice of our proposal has been included with this letter, as you may wish to display this near the
site of the recovered kiosk.
If you require any further information or have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me via
email at btpcfo@bt.com

Yours faithfully
BT Payphones - Commercial Field Officer
