Have your say: Should your Local Payphone be retained?
BT plans to remove a number of little-used public payphones across Stratford District and has written to Stratford-on-Avon District Council as part of a formal consultation process on their proposed programme of public payphone removals.
The Company state that the number of calls made from payphones has more than halved in the last three years and 60% of payphones no longer cover their costs.
A total of 51 payphones have been earmarked for closure in Stratford District as listed below. For more detailed location information you can download a PDF with all 51 listed by postal code.
