    Alan Rhodes has called phone boxes a "redundant technology", adding: "Most of them are unused and unloved. Many of them are in a vandalised state and subsequently they're becoming a bit of an eyesore.

    "I think we need to take them out all together and allow people just to use their mobile phones."
