Adopt a payphone
Local communities also have the opportunity to adopt a traditional red ‘heritage’ phone box and make it an asset that local people can enjoy. Adopting a phone box could mean that the town or parish council, or a registered charity could adopt a given phone box and retain it for an alternative community use. Some examples of how phone boxes have been used include housing defibrillators, art galleries and libraries. Communities can adopt most red boxes for just £1. They can also adopt modern glass boxes if they want to house a defibrillator.
