Subject: Removal of Phone Boxes
BT are proposing to remove 13 phone boxes in Aberdeen. The number of calls made
from each
one over the last year range from 3 to 781 for one at Byron Square. The
planning authority can object to the removal of individual boxes on the basis
of reasons set out in Annex 1 of this document;
http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/consultations/uso/statement/removals.pdf
Essentially, type and tenure of housing in the area, revenue, the need for
emergency calls and
mobile coverage are regarded as valid issues to consider.
All 13 boxes should have a notice in them telling people about the removal and
which asks
people to contact their local planning department if they have any comments.
The planning authority also needs to canvas the views of local communities and
this should
include community councils. A list of phone boxes BT propose to remove is
attached.
If you have any comments on the removal of specific phone boxes, they should be
sent to:
Andrew Brownrigg
Local Development Plan
Aberdeen City Council
Business Hub 4 Ground Floor North
Marischal College
Broad Street
Aberdeen
AB10 1AB
Comments should be received no later than Friday 27th September 2019. This will
allow us time to collate comments and send them to BT by their deadline soon
afterwards.
Regards, Andy
