BT has to pay for 'line rental, electricity, testing and repair' for unused phone boxespublished at 17:18 Greenwich Mean Time 22 November 2016
Pete Cooper
BBC Local LiveBT says that many of the phone boxes in Northamptonshire it would like to get rid of are rarely, if ever, used.
For example, in Byfield, the payphone on the green has been used to make 39 calls in the last 12 months, and villagers would like to save it.
The phone at Whilton Locks hasn't been used at all, but the parish council there still wants to save it.
Neil Scoresby from BT says the boxes can be used for other things, includiing housing defibrillators, but to keep them as working phone boxes costs money, whether they are used or not.
Quote MessageWe're still paying for the line rental, electricity and for testing regularly, and they get vandalised and have to be repaired."

Shamoon Hafez
BBC SportSnooker's only black professional says the sport's governing body is "not doing anything" to attract more black people to take up the sport.
Since joining the main tour in 2001, Rory McLeod, who was born and lived in Wellingborough until recently, has been the only black player to compete.

However, WPBSA chairman Jason Ferguson says the comments are "completely unfair" and the sport is open to all.
