I had quite a long correspondence with BT Payphones about this redundant phone box.

They refused to budge on the removal date, but, bizarrely, agreed to get it working again and replace the glass panels before they eventually remove it.

At least it’s now in somewhat better condition, albeit unpainted and without a door, but the important thing is that it does actually work again (I tested it on Sunday afternoon). Mobile coverage in that part of South Molton is pretty dire so a working phone box is a good thing.  Mind you, a working phone box is always better than one that doesn’t work.
